The Maltese is a great family dog who is great with kids, visitors, and other household pets. He likes to be treated as a special family member, though learns early to respect the rules.

Japanese Chin

Japanese Spaniel

The Japanese Chin is very bright and playful, often showing off his family. A loyal pup, this dog has a growing appeal as a family pet.

Toxirn

The Toxirn is a cross between an Cairn Terrier and a Chihuahua. The Toxirn is a hybrid or designer breed that was developed by crossing Cairn Terrier and a Chihuahua. Though the breed was intended to be a 50/50 mix, many of the Toxirn are bred over many generations and may not always be 50% and 50%. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. We currently do not have more detailed information for this breed.

Pug

Chinese pug, Dutch bulldog, Dutch mastiff, Mini mastiff, Mops, Carlin

The Pug is one of the oldest breeds of dogs and has flourished since before 400 BC. China is the earliest known source for Pugs, where they were pets of the Buddhist monasteries in Tibet. The Pug is a family favorite. Full of confidence and always eager to please, this dog makes a great playmate for children and a loyal addition to the family.

Chiweenie

The Chiweenie is a mix between the Chihuahua and a Dachshund. This mix makes a good pet in homes with older or no children.

Mutt

A mongrel, mixed-breed dog

A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
