Lowchen

The Löwchen, or 'Little Lion Dog,' is a small, ancient companion breed with roots traceable to Renaissance Europe, appearing in paintings and tapestries as early as the 15th century. Traditionally presented in a lion trim—with the hindquarters, legs, and part of the tail clipped close while the front half is left in full coat—the breed has a distinctive and regal appearance. The Löwchen is lively, affectionate, and highly adaptable, thriving as an alert companion that is equally at home in active or quieter households.
