The Löwchen (German: "little lion") is a breed of dog that once had the dubious distinction, like the Portuguese Water Dog and the Havanese, of being the rarest dog in the world. Even today, the breed generally has fewer than a few hundred new registrations each year worldwide.

The Lhasa Apso (lah-sə ap-soh) is a non-sporting dog breed originating in Tibet. It was bred as
an interior sentinel in the Buddhist monasteries, who alerted the monks to any intruders who
entered. Lhasa is the capital city of Tibet and apso is a word in the Tibetan language meaning
"bearded,"  simply means "long-haired Lhasa dog," although there are also some who claim that the
word "apso" is a corruption of the Tibetan word "rapso," meaning "goat-like", which would make
the equivalent translation "wooly Lhasa dog."
