Shihtese
The Shihtese is a small, affectionate companion with a cheerful, people-oriented temperament and a soft, steady charm. It tends to be friendly with children and other dogs, fairly easy to train for a toy breed, and happiest when included in daily family life, though its luxurious coat and alert little voice mean it still needs regular care and guidance.
