Small Dog Breeds

Chihuahua

 

The Chihuahua has a terrier-like personality which means he’s cocky, confident, feisty, quick-to-bark, relentless, and rash. He’s the smallest of all dog breeds. He eats very little and takes up very little space. He’s craves your affection and close physical contact (pats, rubs and scratches). He loves to cuddle and snuggle up to you on the couch. He’ll sit on your lap or by your side for hours while you read or watch TV. He burrows under blankets and pillows to sleep, so be careful where you sit! He tends to bond more closely with one person: his main caretaker. He’s alert and investigates all goings on. He’s cautious and wary with strangers and can take a long time to warm up to them (he’ll get to know them on his own terms!).

Maltese

The Maltese is a best friend and an accessory, all in one. They will surely attract attention from everyone you meet. The Maltese is an ideal companion, as they are so gentle and affectionate. They are sensitive and responsive and love to cuddle. They will want to be by your side at all times, and will demand to go with you wherever you go. They love to go for walks and rides. These funny little dogs are lively, playful, and entertaining. They have no idea how small they are, and they are fearless. That’s why they need you to protect them. They will sound an alarm when someone is at your door, but as soon as you invite that someone in, the act is over.
