1. Brussels Griffon
The Brussels Griffon looks like a little housekeeper. He does not mind the soul in his master, very active, agile, loves all kinds of games.
The birthplace of its origin is Belgium, and the name translated from French means ‘coarse-haired’.
Initially, it was widely used in agriculture to control rodents. Only in the 19th century, the unusual exterior of the caudate was appreciated and became loved by representatives of the nobility. During the Second World War, there was a threat of the complete extinction of the species, but, fortunately, it was possible to reanimate it.

2. Shih Tzu
Shih Tzu is a breed whose representatives are often called the “lion dog” or the “chrysanthemum dog”. This oriental beauty stands out from other animals. Her secret is in a lush, thick fur coat, which on her head also creates a fancy beard.
For a long time, the possession of such a dog was available only to the Chinese imperial court and its entourage. Today, nothing prevents you from having such a mischievous, clever pet.
3. West Highland White Terrier
West Highland White Terrier or, as it is often called, Westik is a dog that looks like a white fluffy cloud. Such a pet can be called ideally urban, because it is small in size, does not fade, does not smell with proper nutrition. Moreover, he does not mind the soul in his master and will become his faithful companion in all travels and adventures.
Vestik is a burrow hunter. That is why when traveling, for example, to the cottage, be prepared for the fact that not a single mouse will slip past it, not a single bed will remain unnoticed.
