Five Small Dog Breeds You Will Fall In Love With

By Andrew Dooley


Large dogs certainly aren't for all of us. They can be costly to bring up and often require a big area to play. Fortunately there are a lot of other choices that may work much more cohesively with your current situation. These are the top 5 small dog breeds you'll want to learn more about when looking for a tiny pet.

Almost every small dog breeds list will have the Bichon Frise near the top. This is a breed that is renowned for its playful disposition and gorgeous white coat. Anyone who wants a pet that is outstanding with children and doesn't shed will love the Bichon. These are also a common choice for those who are allergic to dogs.

One of the most popular small dog breeds is the beagle. While they are little they are actually a hunting dog. Because they were bred for the field they have excellent noses and a loud bark. Even though they might not make the best choice for a small apartment they are a good fit for families with kids.

Everybody has heard of or seen the poodle. However, many don't realize that there is a much smaller variety. Called the toy poodle this little breed is very intelligent and also a cinch to train. But when owning one you will definitely have to spend time taking care of their coat or at least send them to a groomer on a consistent basis.

When cuteness is a priority pugs almost always come to mind. Like a bulldog they have a wrinkly muzzle that will make you smile. Since they are not a high energy pet they are good for those who don't like to exercise much or don't have the time. This breed is a perfect candidate for living in spaces that are quite limited in size.

For those who are looking for a pint-sized pooch that can keep up with their active lifestyle there is the Jack Russell terrier. While they may be little, they surely don't think so. If you are thinking about owning one you should definitely be prepared for vigorous play sessions daily. They also like many other terriers have a strong prey-drive so keeping one with other pets may not be the best choice.

These five small dog breeds all make fabulous pets. When considering one of course, you will need to make sure that you choose a breed with characteristics that work with what you like and that you can handle.
