Description:The Mi-Ki is intelligent, calm, sweet natured, affectionate and their activity level is low to moderate. They are extremely social and catlike in their mannerisms. The Mi-Ki is such an adaptable little dog, that many people who otherwise wouldn't be able to have a pet, find they can indeed have a Mi-Ki. They can be happy and healthy with a small yard, short walks and a sunny window to perch in. Generally the Mi-Kis bark very little. They will alert you when someone comes to your door. The Mi-Ki can climb much like one of their ancestors the Japanese Chin and act catlike. They make great apartment dogs, but also enjoy the outdoors. They are good with children as well as the elderly and are often used as therapy dogs. They are easy to train & House break and will easily adapt to various life styles. The Mi-Ki is a NEW BREED that was started in the late 1980's by Maureen Westberg
