Kyi-Leo Activity Requirements
Kyi-Leos are a fairly new designer hybrid. They are a mix of a Husky and a Leonberger and are considered an intelligent, loving, and loyal dog. They are a very active, high-energy dog and should be exercised daily. While Kyi-Leos are not recommended for apartment living, they do very well in larger spaces. They are best suited to homes with yards where they can run around on a daily basis. Daily walks are also a good idea. A Kyi-Leo must be properly socialized and trained at an early age. They are smart and curious, and can become destructive or aggressive if they are not properly managed. If you are looking for a highly-trained, well-behaved, and well-mannered dog, a Kyi-Leo may be a great choice.
