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.
The Bandog is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club as a cross between an American Bulldog and a Mastiff. It is our Obscure Dog Breed of the Month. The Bandog is an extremely intelligent dog who needs to have an owner that can maintain dominance. It is not a breed for a beginner or a passive owner. Unfortunately, they are sometimes used as fighting dogs in parts of Europe. For this reason,... they came in at #10 in the Top 10 Banned Dogs in the World for 2010. For the dominant owner, these dogs are an intelligent, loving companion. They are very protective of their families and can be trained as guard dogs, if needed. This is a breed that LOVES attention and thrives on leadership. It must be given mental as well as physical exercise to keep him happy and healthy. They can get along with other animals in the household as long as they have been raised with them.
