Australian Bulldog
Aussie Bulldog is also known as Australian Bulldog, it’s a developing dog breed from Australia. Selective breeding was begun in the 1990s by breeders who wished to create a dog with the look of a Bulldog without that breed’s inherent health problems.

There were two independent breeding programs, one by Noel and Tina Green (the JAG line) and a separate program by Pip Nobes (the Nobes Australian Bulldog). Each has their own separate clubs. The only incorporated and constituted body for the breed is the Australian Bulldog Society, founded by Pip Nobes. The United Aussie Bulldog Association (formed in 2003) is run by Noel and Tina Green.

Maltese:
A Maltese is a small breed of dog in the toy group. The Maltese does not shed and is covered with long, silky white fur. The Maltese breed of today is descended from dogs long associated with the island of Malta. It is one of the oldest dog breeds.

The coat is long and silky and lacks an undercoat. The color is pure white and although cream or light lemon ears are permissible, they are not desirable. Some individuals may have curly or woolly hair, but this is outside the standard. The Maltese may grow with curly hair.
For all their diminutive size, Maltese seem to be without fear. In fact, many Maltese seem indifferent to creatures and objects larger than themselves but can also be quite aggressive for their small size, which makes them very easy to socialize with other dogs, and even cats. They love time with owners. This is because they were bred to be companion dogs and thrive on love and attention. They are extremely lively and playful, and even as a Maltese age, his or her energy level and playful demeanor remains fairly constant and does not diminish much.
Maltese are very good with children and infants. Maltese do not require much physical exercise, although they should be walked daily to reduce problem behavior. They enjoy running and are more inclined to play games of chase, rather than play with toys.

Chow Chow Dog Breed
The Chow Chow Dog is a beautiful portrayal of the Asian Spitz. Their back extremities are rectilinear, giving them their typical swaying walk. Their ears are small, round and very separate; place quite forward, making them “wrinkle their brow”. Their face is hidden behind abundant hair. The breed originated in the far east of Siberia, where the Anions used to live, using the Chow Chow’s ancestors to fish, hunt and for sledge pulling.

These Nordic dogs were crossbred with the Mongolian nomadic sheepdogs. They were brought to Chine over 2000 years ago, where they were used as guard dogs, for pulling carts and sheepdogs.
The first Chow Chow arrived to England in 1780 but they were not officially accepted in the Kennel Club until 1880. They are the only dogs that have the tongue, lips and roof of their mouth purplish-blue.
