1. Chihuahua
The Chihuahua is widely considered to be the world’s smallest dog breed, normally standing less than 10 inches (25 centimeters) tall and weighing less than 6 pounds (2.7 kilograms). It is, however, known to have a big personality. Whether this personality is good or bad depends on the owner.
2. Pekingese
Pekingese are small but they certainly don’t see themselves that way. They carry themselves with dignity and an air of importance, which is no wonder since they were once owned only by the Chinese imperial family. They are often likened to little lions.
If you’re living in an apartment or want a dog you can doll up and carry with you wherever you go, then you might want to take a look at the smallest dogs around. Keep in mind, though, small dogs aren’t necessarily easier to handle. Cute also doesn’t always mean cuddly.
Instead, continue to take a look at the many toy or miniature dog breeds available to see if one or more may be a good fit for you!
