Small Dogs As Pets

Small dog breeds are extremely famous to keep as pets. Particularly elderly and social people tend to keep small dog with them because it could be carried easily and could become good lap dogs. Those houses where no kids are living, the presence of little doggies is extremely pleasant. These dog are no less than any children and their overall behavior, care and needs are almost similar.

 

Small dogs are extremely active, social and funny. The behavior of these dogs is friendly and social. These dogs are not very shy as compared to some bigger dogs like Bernese Mountain dog. These mini ones tend to share their human's friends and stay happy when being carried or walked around. Pug, Shih Tzu, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Cocker Spaniel, Maltese, Miniature Poodle, Minature Terrier, Pekingese and many other dog breeds are extremely famous. Some of these little ones come with high grooming needs because of long and silky coat. Smaller dogs stay happy even if kept indoor all the time. They have low activity needs but it does not mean that they are going to nap all day long. They come with a high level of energy and must be given proper access to toys and games to have a good time.

Some people like small dogs because these are less messy and nasty. It is easier to feed them and they do not stink bad. Similarly, smaller dogs also don't have drooling problems (http://purrsngrrs.com/dog-drooling-problems).

People, who could not manage to go for long walks with their pups or play, must go for little ones instead of big ones. Big ones have high energy needs. Elderly and lonely people must have few small puppies instead of a big dog. Big dog is good with children and family, but it is risky to keep small dog with children and other pets. There are chances of accidents and the fragile minatures and teacups versions of dog could get badly injured.

Small doggies are hard to house train because they could be really headstrong and uninterested in learning any tricks or commands. This could be little problematic and this is so far the only drawback of having them. Even after that, small dogs make awesome pets.
