Summary
About Russkiy Toy
Tiny, elegant toy breed (1–3 kg, 20–28 cm) with smooth or long coat. Lively, athletic, and strongly attached to family, often choosing a favorite person. Alert and vocal, suited to gentle, consistent training and moderate exercise, but physically delicate and needs careful handling.
About Lancashire Heeler
Small, sturdy British farm dog, the Lancashire Heeler is energetic, intelligent and agile, with a compact, low-slung body and weatherproof black-and-tan or liver-and-tan coat. Affectionate yet independent, it needs regular training, mental stimulation and exercise, and remains a rare, vulnerable native breed.
