The Toy Dogs



The toy dogs group includes most of the small dog breeds. Most make excellent lap dogs and companions. All enjoy lots of human contact and always want to be with their family. They love people and will form strong bonds with their masters. Breeds in this group, in general, are better suited to limited living areas such as apartments and condominiums than the larger breeds. Being a small dog breed in no way diminishes its character; most are energetic, fun loving and will make any owner proud. If budget is a concern, remember these dogs cost less to feed and maintain than the larger breeds. As well, in general, toy dogs will out live most of the large breeds!

When I first started working on publishing information on the toy dogs, I was fully intending to recommend two or three favourites. But as I researched these wonderful little companions, I quickly became aware that to recommend one, would be totally unfair to the others. I would have to recommend them all! They are all adorable!

The AKC recognizes the following breeds in this group.


Affenpinscher
Brussels Griffon
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Chihuahua
Chinese Crested
English Toy Spaniel (Also known as King Charles Spaniel)
Havanese
Italian Greyhound
Japanese Chin (Also known as Japanese Spaniel)

Maltese The Maltese dog is a snow-white dog with lots of beauty and personality making it a real charmer!

Manchester Terrier (toy)
Miniature Pinscher
Papillon
Pekingese
Pomeranian Check out the neat pictures on this page! The Pomeranian dog has got to be one of the cutest dogs ever.
Pug
Shih Tzu
Silky Terrier
Toy Fox Terrier

Yorkshire Terrier Last but not least is the Yorkshire Terrier dog. It continues to be a perennial favourite. Its charm lies in the boldness and self importance of a terrier packaged in such a tiny frame. Added to this is its magnificent coat and captivating bright eyes.

A Little Dog's Prayer

A master who is firm and kind,
And understands a little dog's mind.
A soft pillow for my head,
While I sleep upon my bed.
A walk and a meal each day,
That's all I ask for when I pray.
