Do you ever wonder what “Lowchen” means? The name of this dog breed translates to “lion dog.” Why such a name? Does it mean the dogs are vicious like lions? Does it mean the dogs are aggressive and, most of the time get into fights?
No, it doesn’t. These dogs were given the name not because of their personality or demeanor but because of their looks. In particular, traditional Lowchens have close-cut hindquarters and natural manes that fully cover their heads. Accordingly, they closely resemble the appearance of lions. But their big personality also contributes to the name.
Lowchens are energetic, lively, affectionate, and sweet. They’re also confident and independent – with a tendency to take over any house rule you’ve laid before them. Yes, that’s how determined and fierce these dogs are. These dogs can also take over your family’s heart for being loyal and protective of you.
