The Mal-Shih is a tiny, adorable mixture between the Maltese and the Shih Tzu. Known for its squished little teddy bear face, the Mal-Shih is an affectionate and devoted breed. Sweet and loving towards humans, these dogs are perfect for seniors and children, as well as families with limited yard space. Though very energetic, the tiny 6-12-pound Mal-Shih can run circles around an apartment or a nice local dog park to get the exercise it needs much easier than a large breed.

More than half of Floridians are pet owners, and 40 percent of them have at least one dog in the family. If you live on an acre of land in the state of Florida, you can own up to four dogs. The most popular breed in this state is the German Shepherd, followed closely by the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever. The most popular dog breed in the city of Orlando is none of those, however, but the French Bulldog! For coast-dwelling Floridian dog owners, there’s the added joy of the dog-friendly beaches on either side (and the bottom) of the panhandle.
