The Kyi-Leo, often called the Kyi Leo, is a beloved breed with a rich history.
The Kyi-Leo is a small companion breed that originated in San Francisco in the 1950s and 1960s as a cross between the Lhasa Apso and the Maltese. The breed was first established through accidental matings, but their appealing temperament and appearance led breeder Harriet Linn to begin a deliberate breeding program in 1972. The name 'Kyi-Leo' is a combination of 'Kyi' (Tibetan for dog) and 'Leo' (Latin for lion). The breed is still rare and not recognized by the AKC.
