Lowchen

Lowchen means "little lion dog". They are often called this due to the way their fur is cut during grooming sessions. The Lowchen (pronounced lerv-chun) is a cheerful, lively, affectionate dog. Sociable and intelligent, it is eager to learn. These dogs are fearless, but gentle and sensitive. Lowchen usually learn quickly and present little difficulty in their training. They are good with children and usually will do okay with other dogs as well as non-canine pets. A lot of times they will usually be "top dog" even though they are not the biggest dog in the house. If necessary it will defend its house with intense barking. They are not hyperactive, but some may bark or dig a lot.

This Lowchen is sporting the "Lion look" that the breed
is so famous for.
