In truth, smaller dogs can make excellent companion dogs because they can continually be by your side, carried all around very easily, effortlessly scooped up into your lap, or even nestled in your tote bag. Paris Hilton's Chihuahua playing peek-a-boo from her Lady Dior bag is actually a popular and much published example.
Usually, dogs that weigh less than 22 pounds or are usually shorter than 16 inches are classified as small dogs. Naturally, this is just a rough estimate, and some small dog breeds are a bit heavier or a lot lighter and even taller and even tinier than this. Consider for example the Chihuahua breed. These are the tiniest of all small dogs weighing a meager 6 to 8 pounds and standing proud at a modest six to ten inches tall.
There are a stupendous variety of small dog breeds that will win your heart. Apart from the itsy-bitsy Chihuahua, there is the adorable Pug, the silky Maltese, the Beagle with its enhanced sense of smell, the eager to please Boston Terrier, the frisky and impish Pomeranian, the lively Yorkshire Terrier, the long-haired fluffy Lhasa Apso, the lion-faced Pekingese, and a whole lot more. Each one of them is as cute as the other, and you will likely be spoiled for choice as far as this little league goes.
Smaller dogs are extremely helpful additions to the family. Apart from simply being great companions and adapting very easily to your home environment, additionally they make outstanding watch dogs. So you don't have to feel concerned about your family's protection with a small dog in your house. They might be tiny, but the smallest inkling of danger will have them bringing the house down with their deep-throated yelps and barks.
Smaller dogs can also be trained very readily. They are obedient dogs and have an eagerness to please their masters. Hence, following orders and paying attention to your command will come quite easy to them.
In most cases, small dog breeds are extremely low maintenance. Lots of them tend not to shed fur everywhere, and for this reason your home will not be a furry mess. Also, such dogs obtain their fill of physical exercise just by strutting around indoors. So in the event that you happen to be low on time and aren't in a position to constantly take your dog out to get a walk, you do not need to be concerned about him getting lazy or overweight.
Finally, and most significantly, small dogs usually are a great hit with kids. Their unintimidating size and unbridled love makes it easier for little children to befriend these small creatures.
