Fed-up of life? Depressed from loneliness? Tired after work? What would be more refreshing than a ten minutes cuddling session with your four-legged angel? How beautiful it would be if that angel climbs through your legs to rest comfortably within your palms? What would be a more satisfying moment than feeling her dance on your palms as if it is her heaven? Let us look at ten such small four-legged angels - the smallest dogs breeds around the world.
Chihuahua
Named after a city in Mexico, the Chihuahua can be undoubtedly concluded as the smallest dog in the world. Lucky are the ones who have once in their lifetime played with one of these beautiful creatures. The sight of its erect eyes and the spherical innocent face is much more than enough for a dog-lovers entry to a state of trance.
Yorkshire Terrier
Even though the name appears terrific, the Yorkshire Terriers are the laziest among the group. These haired beauties can be perfectly described as the introvert dog. The long silky hair add to the cuteness of the creature. After making an appearance in the mid-19th century, the Yorkies are now one of the most popular toy dogs.
Papillon
A dog named after the French word for ‘Butterfly’? You might have already guessed its origin and appearance. The Papillons are intelligent, smart and adaptable. If you are the one who loves the flapping ear of a small little cutie, the Papillon is the right choice for you.
Brussels griffon
With the Brussels Griffon, you would never be alone as it is that little doggy who finds his comfort zone in the heat of its master. While they show variance in their aggression and shyness, they are extremely emotional and therefore, should be socialized with care.
Maltese
Out of most smallest dogs, they are playful, fearless, ductile, lively, intelligent, responsive, active, gentle and affectionate. What more could a master ask from his dog. The black button nose is the perfect adornment to the fluffy white beauty. Maintaining its teeth from the various diseases can be a major problem to the master.
Russkiy Toy
Originally bred in Russia to hunt rats, the Russkiy Toy dogs have conquered the hearts of the dog-lovers around the world. They share a lot of features with the Chihuahua. Was in the merge of distinction many a times but successfully overcame all its negative experiences and is gaining popularity in the west.
Coton de Tulear
This African beauty has a cotton-like hair rather than fur. The largest of the breed can grow up to 18 pounds. Closely related to the another breed of smallest dogs- Maltese, the Cotons also have a beautiful black button nose. Ideal for the family man as it can manage multiple masters.
Pomeranian
This might be the one in the group that doesn’t need any introduction. The Pomeranian is one of the most common breeds in the United States. It is a toy dog which has descended from the German Spitz. Even though small, they do not lag behind in the energy. If you have a courtyard to let it run for hours and some extra time to give her the extra care it needs, the Pomeranian is the best doggy for you.
Japanese Chin
This eastern breed among the smallest dogs is known to show cat-like appearance and traits. But, the four-legged creature from the land of the monks is as loyal as the people of Japan.
Miniature Pinscher
This outgoing German macho guy can be the poor man’s Doberman. The miniature Pinscher might be only 11 inches long, but raising one is not a cakewalk. Miniature Pinschers are a stubborn breed when it comes to training, but once trained they will obey commands well. They are great watchdogs too.
