Proshka’s owner, Stefani Doherty, told us some more details about the dog.
“We’ve had Proshka ever since he was a pup. He is now 2. Despite his appearance as grumpy, he is a very comical, loving dog.
The first time he was called Chewbacca was when I took him for his vaccinations and a young man said ‘hey, it’s baby Chewbacca.’ It’s like that all the time now, we get stopped all the time on walks, people want to know what breed of dog he is and liken him to Chewbacca, Gremlin or the Grinch.
He seems to enjoy the attention he gets.”

It seems that Proshka is also not the biggest fan of bath time

But wearing costumes, on the other hand, is something he very much enjoys

And though he might look sleepy sometimes

He’s actually quite an active little guy (most of the time) who’s very loved by his family

Just plain ugly and deformed. In brachycephalic, short faced dogs with that appearance, the small skulls crowd the brain and result in herniation of the cerebellum and brain stem through the foramen magnum. Bad breeding. Adopt a shelter mixed breed if you want a healthy pupper.
I am sure he is a very sweet dog, but I just CANNOT understand why people breed dogs like that. I am sure he has a myriad of health problems, including problems breathing. It is just cruel.
Her name is griffy.girl. The dog looks like a Brussels Griffon. Thats just what they look like. Lol. So ugly they're cute.

I think Chewie got down on Endor during celebrations and this is his offspring.
Wow you guys sound like terrible people for calling any dog ugly. They are all beautiful! Whatever happened with the breeders is not this boys fault.
George Lucas came up with the concept of Chewbacca after people mistook Indiana, an Alaskan malamute dog owned by Lucas in the 1970s, as a human riding beside him in his car. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Chewbacca#Behind_the_scenes
this dog is a travesty, brachycephalic breeds need to be phased out of the breeding pool
