The Small Dog Breed

There are 150 different dog breeds to choose from. You can either choose from the small dog breeds, the medium or the large dog breeds but at the end of the day, dogs make for great pets and are extremely loyal.

Over the years thanks to people and celebrities there has been an increase in the popularity of small dog breeds. In fact, there are many people who consider the small dog breeds to be cute and adorable animals that are compact, take less space, eat less and yet make for a great pet. There are several different small dog breeds that you can select from. Some of the best pets or hot favorites include Affenpinscher, Miniature Schnauzer, Papillon, Pekingese, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu, Chihuahua, and Jack Russell Terrier.

The small dog breeds are sometimes referred to as the toy dog group and are normally found in two different sizes: the standard size and the miniature. Small dog breeds are no different from their larger compatriots or other dog breeds and have as much energy, character, and playfulness. However small your dog maybe, he will still love you endlessly and lick your face the moment you walk into your home from office. Small dog breeds can adapt themselves to almost all the surroundings or environment and are great with children. Most of the small dog breeds have great social skills although some of them might need a few behavioral lessons or two.

Many of the small dog breeds make ideal companions and are mostly suited for places like apartments and small homes. They need less space unlike a Doberman Pincher, which needs a lot of space. Another salient point of small dog breeds is that they will not require too much of exercise or running around. Hence, if your home has a small backyard then you can take him there and don’t have to necessarily take him to the park for a 4-mile walk around do you.
