The Top 5 Small Dog Breeds Everyone Needs To Consider

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.

A choice which is always close to the top on every small dog breeds list is the Bichon Frise. This breed is well-known for its playful nature and white colored coat. If you are looking for a pet that doesn't shed and is great with kids this could be it. Many owners who are allergic to other canines are able to tolerate living with this breed without a problem.

The beagle has been one of the most popular small dog breeds for a very long time. They are ideal for anyone with children as they make excellent family pets. Beagles are however bred for hunting and have a very noisy bark despite their size. For this reason you may not want one if you are living in an apartment or have neighbors who might complain.

Everyone knows the poodle. But there is also a smaller version known as the toy poodle. It is considered to be one of the best small dog breeds for anyone who wants an intelligent companion that is easy to train. However, you will need to make sure that you take care of its coat periodically either by yourself or sending it to a groomer.

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.

Many owners who have an active lifestyle would like a pet that they can enjoy it with. There is one little breed that has more than enough energy for the job. The Jack Russell terrier is a tiny firecracker that will need time devoted to play and exercise daily. Because they are terriers they often are best-suited for one dog homes or may require supervision when with other pets.

All 5 of the small dog breeds mentioned can be phenomenal pets. Just be sure to take your time when deciding so that you can match up your needs and living situation with the traits of a specific breed for the greatest chance of success.
