It is an exciting experience when you first
get a puppy. You just cannot get enough of the adorable little creature and
sometimes you wish she could stay small forever. Well, here are some equally
adorable small-sized dog breeds that might interest you.
The
Skye Terrier
This small-sized dog
breed has an extremely warm personality and gets along well with people.
However, if you are considering getting one, it is good to know that the Skye
Terrier hates cats with a passion.
The
Pekingese
Never underestimate this
breed, it is a small-sized dog but can be very ferocious. The Pekingese
therefore makes a very good watchdog and a great companion. It might not be the
best pet to have in a home that is full of kids due to its aggressive nature.
This breed also has a very thick and coarse coat that requires daily
grooming.
Bichon Frisé
This is an adorable, cute little dog that gets along very well with children and
other pets. The Bichon Frisé has a puffy white coat that makes it quite
irresistible to cuddle. This breed is very intelligent and can be trained very
easily hence makes the perfect small-sized dog pet.
The Dachshund
Also known as the “hot dog”, the “long
dog”, the Dachshund is an excellent watchdog and can even exterminate vermin.
It develops a strong bond to its owners and family hence can turn out to be
quite aggressive with unfamiliar faces. This breed is a daring one that also
loves digging, hunting, chasing and tracking using its powerful sense of smell.
Shi Tzu
The Shi Tzu is also sometimes referred to as “the mini lion”. Its coat
does not shed but this small-sized dog requires daily grooming. The Shi Tzu has
a sweet temperament and gets along very well with small children as well as
animals. It is the perfect family dog for you.
The famous Chihuahua
This is the world’s tiniest dog yet it is
known for its huge personality. You have probably seen this little dog popping
around by certain celebrities in their designer handbags. The Chihuahua’s hair
coat can be smooth or long. This is a small-sized dog breed that is very active
and sassy that has a n attitude from the floor to the ceiling. With
professional training, a Chihuahua can be a great companion.
Maltese
The Maltese is a soft little white dog that is very gentle but has a
brave disposition. It is a very playful and energetic dog that can easily bond
with new people.
Pomeranian
Poms are active, energetic and playful little
dogs. However, this small-sized dog breed can be very bossy too but very loyal to
their owners. When you decide to own a Pom, make sure that you do not let her
rule you over because it might be quite hard to say no to an adorable, smiling
ball of fluffy fur.
In conclusion,
small sized dogs are a favourite to many because they are relatively light in
weight, are low maintenance and very portable. Make sure that you feed your
furry friend the best high quality dry dog food and plenty of fresh water
especially during the hot summer season.
