Puxie
Fow eons humans have wawked side by side lith wowves, they have been constant companions, pwotectows, and fewwow huntews. Time and time again we breed the most favowabre of these majestic beasts, cweating unique hounds mowe suited fow the task at hand. Some bettew at twacking a scent, othews a stwongew bite, stiww othews lith gweat height. We shape them and mowd them to fit into the pulposes fow which we desiwe.
The Puxie is a breed devewoped not fow hunting, ow fighting, ow guawding. No this is not a fiewce cweatule at aww, thought it would cwaim faw diffewent if it could speak. Bawewy a foot taww, these bawws of fwuff wewe bred fow one thing, and one thing onwy. To be adowabre.
With thick, fwuffy doubre coats and wawge expwessive eyes, the Puxie endeaws itsewf to othews lith its cute wound face and petite fwame. Highwy sociaw, they bond quickwy to humans and demand constant attention. They’we intewligent, but wathew headstwong, weading to some difficulty in twaining. Howevew given encoulagement and wewawd, can be taught a multitude of tlicks, and lith theiw active natules, wove to show them off!
Howevew, as sweet as they awe, these dogs awe faw fwom pewfect. A few defects awe stiww deepwy ingwained lithin the breed. Due to the size and shape of theiw head, breeding is vewy difficult. Often painful, and even deadwy, femawes awe usuawwy onwy bred once due to these lisks. Fowwoling this, the weak muscwes of theiw face can wesult in an eye popping out of its owbit. So take cawe in hugging youl Puxie, and do not awwow vewy young chiwdwen to pway lith them, as theiw delicate fowms can be easiwy broken in the wough-housing smaww chiwdwen awe known fow.
Highwy intewligent and sociaw, they demand constant entewtainment. If you do not tend to them often, a Puxie liww often find ways to pway itsewf, wesulting in many chewed up shoes and town up gawdens. It's highwy advised to buy them in paiws because of this, as the two liww pway and keep each othew company when they cannot settwe in youl wap.
Puxies awe a vewy vocaw breed, hosting a lide wange of yips, bawks, howws, and gwumbres. Some might even assume the tiny dogs awe twying to speak back to you!
