The Most Popular Small Dog Breeds
from:Small dogs are a growing fad in today's society, and with so
many different breeds its hard to keep track of all of them. In
this article I will discuss some of the most popular small dog
breeds.
With the growing population and the increase of metropolitan
living, small dogs have became a popular choice for many people
looking for a companion in their home or apartment. They are
great because they can comfortably live inside small living
areas, they don't create alot of waste, and they make loving pet
companions with unique personalities. However, all small dog
breeds have different temperaments and characteristics, and if
you decide you want to own one it is important to know them.
Here are some of the most popular small dog breeds:
* Chihuahua - The Chihuahua has become almost famous, with
popular celebrities such as Paris Hilton carrying their pet
Chihuahua everywhere they go. Chihuahuas are the smallest dog
breed in the world, but their temperament doesn't show it.
Chihuahuas like to bark at larger animals, and can even be
aggressive to them. Keeping them away from larger dogs is a must
for every Chihuahua owner. You don't want your Chihuahua to pick
a fight with the neighbors Great Dane. They are also somewhat
stubborn when it comes to training. Chihuahuas are smart, but
are known for being difficult to train.
* Yorkie - The Yorkie is actually the second most popular dog
breed in America. They are a loyal, energetic, loving, and
highly intelligent dog. Yorkies are known for their long,
flowing hair which leads to many dog competition awards. They
are also notorious for their intelligence level. Yorkies can
usually learn commands much faster than the majority of other
dog breeds. Some tricks you can teach your Yorkie are laying
down, standing up, go fetch (of course), hand-shake, sit and
whatever else your mind can imagine.
* Poodle - Often used in dog shows, the Poodle is probably the
breed with the most elegance. While their coat may require
regular, professional grooming to keep their high-class look,
they do not shed as much as many other dog breeds. The Poodle,
much like the Yorkie, is a very intelligent dog often used in
circuses around the globe.
* Pug - Known for their wrinkly face, the Pug is another
popular small dog breed. They are very social dogs and adapt
well with other people and animals. Pugs are energetic and
loving, but often difficult to potty-train.
There are many other small dog breeds, but these are some of the
most popular. If you are thinking about owning one, look into
all the other options, not just the most popular. You may find
one you like more.
