    The Lowchen is an ancient European breed. In the Middle Ages, it was the material for works of art and was loved by noble ladies. Later, it became a rare breed, but in recent years, its number has begun to increase again. Gao Ye is one of the painters who has painted this cute puppy. The shaggy coat makes them look weak and disrespectful, but this is not the case. The Lowchen is a stable dog with a strong will and arrogance. Male dogs often challenge other dogs to compete for dominance in the family. For long curly hair, it is only trimmed to highlight a certain purpose. As a companion dog, it is often trimmed into the appearance of a little lion to attract people's attention.
