Obscure Dog Breed of the Month

The Mi-Ki is a small companion dog bred in the United States in the 1980s. They... are the result of crossing several breeds, including the Papillon, Japanese Chin, Maltese, Shih Tzu, and Yorkshire Terrier. It has been called the “truest companion breed of all.”

The breed is known for its consistent personality. It is always in a good mood, happy to play when you are, happy to amuse itself when there is no one to play with. They are absolutely wonderful for small children and older adults.

These cute dogs come in both a long and short haired version. Both have silky, fine hair, with the difference being the beard and mustache of the long-coated dog. They can reach a whopping weight of 10 lbs, and generally stand a maximum of 10 inches tall. They are good with all other pets.
