Chilean Fox Terrier
Pure Breeds • Small

Chilean Fox Terrier

The Chilean Fox Terrier is a lively and dynamic small breed that emerged from the crossbreeding of the British Fox Terrier and indigenous Chilean dogs. Although this delightful breed is relatively recent, having been established over the past two centuries, its ancestry can be traced back to ancient times, with roots believed to extend to the Roman era. Renowned for their friendly nature, Chilean Fox Terriers are popular as companion animals and tend to exhibit less aggression than many other terrier breeds. They are exceptionally loyal to their owners, forging strong bonds with their families. While they typically get along well with children, they do not tolerate rough play, so it’s essential for young ones to learn to interact gently with these small dogs to avoid any problems. These terriers may display aggression towards dogs of the same sex, but early socialization and exposure to various dogs can help reduce the likelihood of conflicts. Although they are excellent watchdogs due to their alertness, their size and temperament do not make them suitable as guard dogs. Aesthetically pleasing, the Chilean Fox Terrier features a short, easy-to-care-for coat that is primarily white, accented with distinctive black and tan markings. Their tidy, short fur contributes to a polished appearance. With their well-defined faces and sharp expressions, these dogs are not only devoted companions but also versatile enough to thrive in both rural and urban settings, making them an excellent choice for families.

Chinese Shar-Pei
Pure Breeds • Medium

Chinese Shar-Pei

The Chinese Shar-Pei is a large dog breed distinguished by its unique wrinkled head and face. Typically, these dogs weigh around fifty pounds and stand about eighteen inches tall. There is a belief that the Chinese Shar-Pei shares a lineage with the Chow-Chow, as both breeds feature a blue-black tongue, which often causes confusion between them. Traditionally, the Chinese Shar-Pei was a multifunctional farm dog in China, employed for various tasks such as hunting, tracking, herding, and protecting livestock. Unfortunately, some people misused the breed for dogfighting, as its distinctive wrinkled skin and coarse fur were thought to hinder opponents' grip. The breed came perilously close to extinction during the Communist Revolution, but a businessman from Hong Kong played a vital role in reviving interest in the Shar-Pei among American dog lovers. In 1992, the American Kennel Club officially recognized the Chinese Shar-Pei, and it has since gained popularity as one of the favored dog breeds in the United States.

Dualanese
Crossbreeds • Small

Dualanese

The Dualanese is a toy breed that emerges from the crossbreeding of a purebred Havanese and a purebred Bolognese. These dogs typically weigh up to 14 pounds and are available in a variety of colors, such as white, black, black and tan, sable, and grey. The Havanese is characterized by its thick, silky, and soft coat, whereas the Bolognese is known for its long, fluffy fur. Both breeds are recognized for their intelligence and playful demeanor, but they have different exercise needs. Bolognese dogs require minimal physical activity to stay content, while Havanese dogs need more exercise. Consequently, the exercise requirements for a Dualanese will largely depend on which parent breed they take after. Additionally, Havanese dogs are known for their affectionate nature but often struggle with being left alone.
