Here are some more information for Lion Dog:
Who doesn't love a friendly dog? They're cute, lovable and make for a great companion, unless you have asthma and allergies related to dogs.
If you have a asthma caused by allergies and are considering getting a dog, there's several things you should consider before welcoming the four legged canine into your family.
To start with, you need to know that there's no dog breed that is one hundred percent hypoallergenic. That means that if you have allergies and asthma triggered by pet dander, there's no breed that is going to be completely safe for you to get. That's because all dogs create dander, however there are some breeds that create produce less than others.
Before you take home any dog, take some time to visit a breeder so you can spend time with the dog you're thinking about bringing into your family. By spending time with the dog, you can see if it causes any problems before you actually get the dog. It would be a lot better to spend a short amount of time now with the dog, then to discover six months later that you have to give it away because you can't live with the dog.
If you still want to go through and get a dog, the best breeds have no hair at all or just a single coat. I put together a lot of some of the best dogs for people with allergies and asthma. It is by no means a definitive list. There's some breeds on this list that might cause you specifically problems, and other breeds on this list that won't cause you any allergy problems.
American Hairless Terrier -This breed is actually considered an excellent choice for people with allergy problems. That's because it doesn't have any hair and little to no dander.
Bedlington, Terrier -The Bedlington Terrier is a described as a dog with the heart of a lion, but looks like a lamb. Took a look at their pictures pictures, you'll to agree that it really does look like a sheep.
Bichon Friese - This a white or cream colored breed, known to be friendly and is literally described as a charming puffball.
Chinese Crested - There's two varieties of this breed. One only has hair around it's feet, head and tail. The other has a full coat coat, but both varieties can come from the same litter.
Kerry Blue Terrier - This is another well built, muscular medium sized dog. It's black at birth, but the coat changes color to a dark blue shade to a slate blue or light gray as it becomes an adult.
Maltese - It's hard to miss the Maltese. It has long, white hair that can grow to to nine inches long.
Peruvian Inca Orchid - It's another hairless dog and has a very soft skin.
Poodle - This is often the first breed that people think of when they think of a breed that would be good for asthma. There's toy poodle which is under ten inches at it's shoulder. The miniature poodle which is between 10 and 15 inches tall. The standard poodle is over 15 inches.
Portuguese Water Dog - This breed is hardy and muscular, medium sized dog. It has a single-layered, non-shedding coat that is virtually hypoallergenic.
Schnauzer - The schnauzer is a tiny, square proportioned dog with a long head, bush beard, mustache and eyebrows.
Shih Tzu - The name comes from the Mandarin language for lion dog. It's a small, yet sturdy dog with an ample amount of fur.

Pekingese — A Small Lion Dog which is believed to be Semi- Divine
The Pekingese or Peke is an ancient breed of toy dog. Originating in China, they were venerated as semi-divine by the Chinese. They display dignity, a haughty demeanor, and bravery befitting their Chinese origin. They are also commonly referred to as a "Lion Dog", "Pelchie Dog", or "Foo (or Fu) Dog" due to their resemblance to Chinese guardian lions that drove away spirits. Self-confident, independent and fearless the Pekingese dog is one of the most respected of the toy breed. The Pekingese is the ultimate aristocrat who expects and demands to be a pampered companion. They were first registered by the American Kennel Association in 1915.
It is pear-shaped, compact and low to the ground. The approximate adult sizse (two years old or older) of the Pekingese is 6 to 9 inches to the withers (highest point of the shoulder) and 8 to 10 pounds. Less than 6 pounds is a tea cup or sleeve Pekingese and between 6 and 8 pounds is a mini. Small in stature, but thick boned, these compact dogs are heavier in the front, and lighter in the hindquarters. The Pekingese's flat face is one of the breed's most obvious characteristics. They have a broad head that is wide between their large, dark, lucid and slightly prominent eyes. The legs are noticeably bowed and restrict the Pekingese's movement. These tiny, heavy boned dogs have a characteristic rolling gait.
The Pekingese puppies may be difficult to train due to their stoic nature. They have definite personalities that show in their very proud and regal stance. They don’t respond to a harsh, loud, or overly bossy master. They respond best to gentle, consistent, and patient guidance. The crate method is recommended for housebreaking. Training Pekingese puppies should not begin too early however, as there is evidence to show that before a certain age, the brains of puppies are not significantly developed enough to process complex learning. Patience is the key when training these little dogs. Treat your peke like a special member of your family and start his training with short sessions of basic obedience and socialization.
This is a double-coat breed. The outer-coat is extravagant, long, and straight flowing with profuse feathering. The under-coat is soft and plush in texture. The lavish Pekingese coat is this breeds crowning glory. They come in a wide variety of colors and markings, including parti-color. They are average shedders. Daily brushing and combing are mandatory to keep these dogs and their long double coats looking sharp. Due to their abundance of fur, it is important to keep the Pekingese cool as they are prone to having heatstroke when exposed to high temperature. The Pekingese can live between 13 and 15 years with proper nutrition, medical care and excellent living conditions.
They are intelligent and courageous dogs that are also affectionate and sympathetic with their owners. They are very wary of strangers and despite their small size can make good watchdogs. They are very alert and tend to bark a lot as well. They are good for apartment life. They are relatively inactive indoors and will do okay without a yard. Contrary to popular belief, the Pekingese is not as bad tempered as some have been led to believe. They are actually quite eager to please, and are extremely loyal. Lovable and affectionate, these tiny companions are well-suited for a variety of environments.

Could a dog and a lion have an offspring?
Random question, I'm serious about it though
I love animals
No. In order for two species to interbreed, they must be closely related - usually within the same genus, and certainly within the same family. Dogs belong to the family Canidae, whilst lions belong to the family Felidae - they are far too different to be able to breed.
Despite what some of your answers have said, dogs cannot interbreed with foxes. The fox genera - Vulpes, Dusicyon, Urocyon, Otocyon and Alopex - diverged millions of years ago from the genus Canis, to which dogs belong, and they are too different to interbreed. However, dogs can interbreed with other members of the genus Canis, such as wolves, coyotes and jackals.
Lions can interbreed with other members of their genus, Panthera - that is, tigers, jaguars and leopards.
