The Calchona is a little seen canine creature.  It resembles a large poodle standing four feet tall at the shoulder. Its curly white hair though not as elaborately groomed as the Villehardouin hunting breed, is nonetheless sufficiently puffy and outlandish to invite the comparison. It is also possessed of a long, goat like beard as well as pointed tufted ears and outsized canine teeth. They are prized by Andu'Hochi tribesmen as hunting dogs though they are also notoriously difficult to tame.
