By Jonathan Atlas


There are many reasons to consider a smaller sized pet. However once most people realize them they don't know where to start. So here are 6 breeds you will want to check out first!

Many prospective owners don't just want something tiny they want one of the small fluffy dog breeds. When this is the case the Pomeranian is a fabulous choice. It is actually very well known for its fluffy coat which is usually orange or red in color. Even though they are slight in size they do make very good watch dogs as they will always bark to alert their owner to danger.

Near the top of any small dog breeds list is the French bulldog. These unlike their English counterpart have erect ears that look similar to that of a bat. For anyone who enjoys wrinkles this could be the one.

Without question the Chihuahua is one of the most popular small dog breeds around the world. It is usually the first one to come to mind when anyone mentions tiny breeds. When considering one you should remember that they are known for being nippy with those they aren't familiar with.

Free time is a luxury and not all of us have enough of it to go for long daily walks. When this is the case you can still have a pet just a low energy one. The Pug is a good example and with unsurpassed cuteness it is one of the best small dog breeds for many people.

Many dog breeds shed which can be quite annoying. Dog hair not only can get messy but stick your clothing and furniture. If you prefer a non-shedding pooch a Shih-Tzu might be right for you. Although you will have to comb their hair regularly to keep it tangle-free.

Those who are partial to the look of the Collie may be interested in the Shetland sheepdog. You will need to be prepared for daily exercise or play sessions since they do have a lot of energy. That being said they are very gentle with kids so make a phenomenal family pet.

Any one of these small dog breeds could be just what you are looking for. Who knows maybe you'll fall in love with them all, with such special traits it's a definitely possibility. Don't forget to take a look at a dog book as well to learn about even more choices that could work for you.
