Lowchen
Although the Lowchen is recorded in literature and images dating from the mid-fifteenth century, the dog's origins are not clearly known. Initially thought to have originated in the Mediterranean, the Lowchen is now considered by many to be native to Germany (the name is German for 'little lion'). The once-popular breed declined during the nineteenth century and following the Second World War they were named 'rarest breed'. A dedicated breeding program ensured the breed's survival, and it has once more gained in popularity. Alert and inquisitive, the 'little lion' has traditionally been groomed to reflect its title, with close-cut hindquarters and a full, natural mane. The Lowchen is a loving and easily managed family pet - small, active, intelligent, and obedient.
