Tips on Grooming Your Kyi-Leo

    High Maintenance: Grooming should be performed often to keep the dog's coat in good shape. Professional trimming or stripping needed.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Kyi-Leo Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative element of everyday pet care. Brushing assists to keep your Kyi-Leo dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shining coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to reduce the need to bath and therefore decrease the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Kyi-Leo dog are activities that help to enhance the good connection bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Kyi-Leo

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will rely on each individual dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats commonly require less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Pet dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Kyi-Leo Information

The Kyi-Leo reaches 8-12 inches in height and 9-14 pounds in weight. It has a long silky coat, most commonly black and white but sometimes gold and white, which tends to grow to long lengths (never quite reaching past the floor) if tended properly. Its hair also grows on its face and tail. It has small yet delicate legs that are prone to damage if dropped, but the Kyi-Leo can be very agile and quick. The Kyi-Leo has notable similarities, in body size, shape, and hair, to the Shih Tzu dog breed though the eyes are more human set rather than bulging and they do not have the short-snout face.

The Kyi-Leo is generally calm, obedient, quiet, and difficult to provoke. It is usually very playful and active around trusted humans or animals, but tends to stay cautious and alert around strangers. Its acute hearing makes it a decent watchdog. It ideally lives in indoor settings and can be very patient when left alone for long hours at a time.
