Small, cobby-framed, square dog covered in silky wavy coats. Their heads are rounded and have pug-like features including a flat, pushed up muzzle and big, wide eyes. The ears are long and covered in wavy hair. The tail is usually docked.
Blenheim, tri-color, ruby or black and tan.
Gentle, happy and playful. They are well-mannered and intelligent. They form strong bonds with family members and get along well with other pets and children. They have a strong instinct to chase and retrieve fowl and small game so it is important to have them in fenced in areas or on lead.
Originated in China thousands of years ago. They were primarily bred for companionship to the wealthy. They were also used as smaller bird dogs.
Hip dysplasia, heart problems and ear infections.
