Surprisingly, some dog breeds have retained not only the habits of their ancestors, but also their appearance.
Shiba Inu - red fox
A dog with a striking appearance and an equally captivating character, the Shiba Inu has an elongated muzzle, expressive black eyes, and a fox-like coat. Its vibrant red coat will leave no one indifferent. The national pride of Japan, it has captivated the world with its unique appearance.
Swedish Vallhund - Gray Fox
Short legs, a small frame, pointed ears, and a charming smile—that's the Swedish Vallhund. Their appearance resembles a gray fox, but their personality is the complete opposite. They are sociable and calm, great with children, and will follow their owner under any circumstances. Swedish Vallhunds are easy to train, but training should begin in puppyhood, while their character is still developing. Vallhunds are low-maintenance, requiring little bathing or daily brushing.
The American Eskimo Dog is a snow-white fox.
The American Eskimo Dog resembles a snow-white fox or a snow-white cloud. These dogs are highly intelligent, ideal for apartment living, and are long-lived. Their average lifespan is about 15 years.
The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is a wolf.
The recently developed Czechoslovakian Wolfdog breed has a unique wolf-like appearance. These dogs are quite fearless in nature and easily establish rapport not only with other dogs but also with people. Proper training and education are essential. This breed is excellent for guarding the home.
Chow-chow - bear
Is this really a miniature teddy bear? Not at all, it's a Chow Chow. Its plush fur, round ears, and charming face evoke interesting associations. Fortunately, the Chow Chow has no other resemblance to a bear beyond its appearance. This breed is ideal for indoor living. Two walks a day are sufficient, and it's friendly and easily trained.
