The Shetland Sheepdog is a small, agile breed with a long, thick coat. They have a long head and a medium-sized muzzle, with bright, alert eyes and a lively expression. Shetland Sheepdogs are known for their intelligence, eagerness to please, and devoted loyalty to their owners. They make excellent family pets and are also used in agility, obedience, and herding events.

Pekingese and Japanese Chins were so important in the ancient Far East that they had their own servants and were carried around trade routes as gifts for kings and emperors. Pekingese were even worshipped in the temples of China for centuries. random fact from GET /api/v2/facts
