With a mane fit for a king, the Lionhead is a recent Belgian creation that pairs a small frame with dramatic fur.

Imported to the United States in the 1990s, it gained full ARBA status in 2014.

A single copy of the mane gene gives modest fluff; two copies create the full, lasting double mane and flowing “skirts.”

Adults weigh two to four pounds and share playful, dog-like personalities that charm families.

Routine brushing keeps the mane tangle-free, and ample room to explore satisfies their endless curiosity alongside a diet rich in hay, veggies, and measured pellets.
