Dog breed
Mi-Ki
The Mi-Ki is a small, companionable toy dog with a long, silky, flowing coat and a dignified, gentle manner. Most are affectionate with their families and tend to bond closely with one or two people. They are typically reserved with strangers and can be wary of rough handling, so they generally do best with respectful children and calm households. They usually get along with other dogs and cats when introduced slowly.
Day to day, the Mi-Ki needs regular brushing to keep the coat free of tangles and daily attention rather than long outings. Short walks, indoor play, and time with their people suit them well. They are happiest as companions and do not handle long periods alone especially well.
Good for: Companion seekers, quieter homes, owners who want a devoted indoor dog
Living with a Mi-Ki
Exercise
Short daily walks and indoor play are usually enough for this small companion dog. Keep sessions brief and avoid overheating in warm weather.
Grooming
The long, silky coat needs brushing several times a week to prevent tangles and mats. Bathe as needed and keep the face and feet tidy between grooming sessions.
Health
Like many small dogs, the Mi-Ki can be prone to dental problems, patellar luxation, and eye issues. Ask a veterinarian about screening and preventive care suited to your dog.
