The Kromfohrländer (/ˈkroʊmfərlændər/ KROHM-fər-land-ər) commonly known as Kromi is a breed of dog that originated in Germany. It is used as a companion dog. Particularly long lived, reaching 17-18 years old regularly. Very attached to their owners, often being described as a 'one-person dog'. The Kromfohrlander comes in 2 coat variations: rough hair (Rauhaar) and smooth hair (Glatthaar). The distinction is the presence of a beard on the rough variety and a rather long coat on the furnishings of the smooth variety. Therefore, the rough resembles a terrier, while the smooth looks rather like a spaniel. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
