Small dogs...

[TollSettFK]

It's funny, but it seems like nobody here has any small type dogs!Well,I was thinking aobout this and had a question for everyone to answer in thier oppinion. What type of small dog breed is best?Or what is your personal favorite?

My poodle only weighs 8 lbs I'm gonna have to say poodles are my favorite small breed. At least one of my favorites. I also really like yorkies, silky terriers, and papillons.

Define "small" - because for some people, anything less than 140 pounds is "small!" And Jackie'sDaisy's schnauzers are the miniature ones, so they're certainly small - or do you mean chihuahua-size?

My very favorite small dogs would be toy poodles. Reece to me seems to be a toy or a very, very small miniature. My toys were 7-8 lbs. I also love Yorkies. Aly we think alike!

If we are talking about dogs a little heavier, maybe in the 10-20 lb. range, then I vote for miniature poodles (no surprise there!). Also pugs!!! Love those little faces!

I'll have to change my name to Nobody...because I own a small dog! Our Angel is a Tibetan Spaniel. But tibbies (as they're called) have great self-assurance & believe themselves to be big dogs. So the Tibetan Spaniel breed is often described as a big dog in a small dog's body. To find out about tibbies go to http://www.tibbies.net
Our Angel's photo appears in the photo gallery there, under 'A'.

My Bandit is a Pug. He is the largest of the Toy group but he's my little baby boy. He's definitly a companion dog. He loves nothing better than to sit on your lap and snore the night (and day) away!

My favorite small(er) dogs are welsh corgis, pugs, and miniature poodles. But, my real love is BIG dogs!

Oh and Boston Terriers! I love Bostons!

Just thought of two more; Schnauzers & Schipperkes.

My fav small breed is english cocker spaniels. Thay are soo adorable!

[crow_noir]

i "have" (long story) a rat terrier. i can't say they are my favorite breed of small dog, but since she was my first dog in many years, i am partial to the breed.

some that i like include welsh corgies, minature australian shepherds, min pins, cavilear king charles spaniel*, the bigger chuhuahuas, some dachshunds, and the tibetan spaniel*

* denotes breed that i'm interested in, but have never met.

I have a small miniature poodle. He's 4 months old and weighs 6 pounds. He's a great puppy! I also have a miniature schnauzer who weighs about 25 pounds. Not sure if that's considered miniature.

Aly, Reece has the same collar, tag AND dog bed as Fritz!

[aly]

Hehe poodle lovers think alike! I think Bella also has a bed almost exactly like Reece's and Fritz's.

small,meaning up 2 about 20 pounds.

Well, Hans should be about 20 pounds but he's a little overweight. Fritz is trying to work those extra pounds off of him though!

[RachelJ]

Bichon Frise, Minature Poodle, Rat Terrier, Wired Hair Fox Terrier, are the ones that pop into my mind. A friend of mine has a Cockapoo which is much smaller than mine, and probably comes in about 20 lbs.

[mkgwolf]

For me any dog that is fullgrown and is under 30 pounds is small. I don't have any experience with small dogs but i like how corgies look.
