    okay, I had to look ...
    The Xoloitzcuintli (pronounced sholo-its-quintli) meaning "dog of the god Xolotl", the Aztec god of twins, of things which are deformed ... Its primary function in the ancient times was as a source of food.

    okay, last one
    The name Lundehund is a combination of the Norwegian words "lunde", the Puffin bird, and "hund", meaning dog. Originally, they were bred to hunt and retrieve the Puffin, a meat and feather crop for the Norwegian farmer of past centuries living along the fiords and on the islands off the west coast of Norway.

    Looks like you're #6 in Cheek-to-pink-flamingo-land but #12 in Buffalo. I guess you, being a small dog aren't popular in the city.

    BUFFALO'S Most Popular Breeds 2010

      1. Labrador Retriever
      2. German Shepherd Dog
      3. Golden Retriever
      4. Boxer
      5. Rottweiler
      * Registration data pulled from Buffalo zip codes as specified by U.S. Postal Service



      Among the Changes in Buffalo’s Rankings:
      • The Bulldog continues to gain popularity nationally, but has yet to crack Buffalo’s top ten, ranking 12th for 2010.
      • The Chihuahua and Pug tied for eighth most popular breed in Buffalo for 2010.
      "Buffalo has decided large breeds are top notch," said AKC Spokesperson Lisa Peterson. "Nationally, larger breeds are gaining popularity, but Buffalo is definitely leading the trend with all of its top 5 being big breeds."
    My poor girls dropped out of the top 20 list.
