The Malchi is a cross between the Chihuahua and the Maltese. A small breed, Malchis are quick and agile, often taking part in dog shows. These dogs usually reach 12 to 14 inches high at the shoulder and weigh between 5 and 12 pounds. Their coat varies and can be short or long, fluffy or scruffy, and they need regular grooming. The Malchi is best with older children and adults but loves to be in a family setting. It is easy to train in obedience and house manners as long as it gets enough outdoor exercise.

In Tennessee, the most popular pet dog breeds are Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds and Beagles. As of 2019, however, the official Tennessee state dog is the Bluetick Coonhound. The Bluetick Coonhound is an iconic medium-sized breed that gets its name from the greyish spackle marks on its coat. There are lots of great dog-friendly places to explore in Tennessee with your dog, including Old Hickory Lake, Cummins Falls State Park and Shelby Farms Park. Take a memorable trip for the whole family to the Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial & Nature Center in Covington. The site features a dog-friendly nature trail through the woods and wetlands that stretches for half a mile.
