Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_USER_AGENT in /var/www/nzkc/www.nzkc.org.nz/includes/common.php on line 38 NZKC - Breed Standard - Lowchen - Toy Löwchen (pronounced lerv-chun) means "little lion dog," and in France the breed is known as Le Petit Chien Lion. The Löwchen shares common roots with other members of the Bichon family, which includes the Bichon Frise and Havanese, among others. Germany, Russia and France have all laid claim to the breed. The exact time and place of its origin is obscure, but dogs resembling the Löwchen, sporting the distinctive lion trim, can be found in 16th-century German art. Its popularity continued through the 1800s. Goya is one of many artists to have featured the Löwchen on canvas. With the coming of the 20th century and the two World Wars, the popularity of the Löwchen waned. By 1960, they were granted the title "rarest breed" by the Guinness Book of World records. No longer, however, do they win the dubitable claim to fame as the "rarest breed."
