About The Khaomanee The Khaomanee is a native breed of Thailand. There is nothing extreme about the Khaomanee (except its charm): medium body, medium build, and medium type. Known as the "White Gem", a translation of their Thai name, Khaomanee have short, white fur and three different jewel-tone eye colors: gold, blue, and odd-eyed (one of each color).
Khaomanee are people-centered, curious, and inclined to good-natured mischief. They are intelligent and can be taught to play fetch and learn simple tricks. Like most of the Asian breeds, Khaomanee do not thrive being alone and need playmates of their own activity level.
