Introduction

Some of us are drawn to big dogs, and others prefer a smaller, more dainty companion. If you fall into the latter category, there are several great breeds out there that will make wonderful companions for you. In this article, I’ll introduce you to some popular breeds of smaller dogs—and show how they can be great additions to any home.

The Papillon.

The Papillon is a small, elegant dog with butterfly-like ears and a long coat. Papillons are good at learning tricks and they can be trained to walk well on a leash. They are also very loyal companions.

The Boston Terrier.

Boston Terriers are one of the most popular smaller dog breeds. They can make an excellent companion, whether you have children or not. Boston Terriers are loyal, affectionate and intelligent dogs that are easy to train. Boston Terriers love being around humans and other animals so don’t be surprised if your new pup wants to play with your cat or dog!

Boston Terriers need a lot of exercise because they’re active but they also enjoy being lazy on the couch as well. If you live in an apartment then this is a great choice since Boston’s don’t need much space!

The Dachshund.

The Dachshund is a small, short-legged dog that has a long body and short legs. It can be black and tan, red and tan, or gray. This breed of dog is loyal and affectionate—but it will also have an independent streak. Because it was bred for hunting instincts, you can expect your Dachshund to chase after prey once in awhile (if given the opportunity).

The Chihuahua.

The Chihuahua is a small breed of dog that originated in Mexico. They are sometimes called “teacup” or “pocket” Chihuahuas, but they are not actually the tiniest dogs in the world. However, they are still very small, which makes them ideal for people who want a lap dog. The average height of a full-grown male is 8 inches (20 cm) and females tend to be slightly shorter at 7 inches (18 cm).

Chihuahuas have long curly hair that comes in different colors such as black & tan or liver & white. A lot of people think that all chihuahuas have short hair because there aren’t many long-haired chis out there; however this isn’t true because if you look closely at some pictures of long haired ones then you will see their fur is longer than their bodies!

One thing to keep in mind about this breed is that they can be very protective over their owners when they feel threatened by another person walking past them or even by an animal passing by the house like a cat outside running across our fence which causes my little guy to growl at it while barking loudly*

The Pomeranian.

The Pomeranian is a small breed of dog that originated in Pomerania, which is now part of Germany. They have been around since at least the 16th century.

These dogs are one of the most popular breeds in the United States and come in many different colors, including white and black. There are also various shades of brown for their coats as well as reds and whites (the picture above shows this coloration).

They are very social dogs who love to be around people, especially children. They always want to be close to their human family members and will follow them everywhere they go if allowed to do so! A Pomeranian will even sleep on your head if you let it! These little guys can become extremely attached to their humans after spending time together every day. If you’re looking for a companion for your child then look no further than this adorable breed!

Smaller dogs make great companions for those who want an affectionate dog in a small package.

So you’re looking for a dog and you want an affectionate companion. You also want one that is easy to travel with, easy to take care of, and most importantly, will be adopted easily. Having a smaller breed of dog may be just what you need! Here are some reasons why owners choose smaller dogs:

• They are easier to transport. Smaller breeds can fit into a car or truck just like larger ones can; however, if compared side-by-side, the difference between them becomes apparent. A large breed will take up more room than its small counterpart would; this could mean that it’s less comfortable for both driver and passenger during long trips because they are unable to move around as much. With this being said though, keep in mind that no matter how big or small your dog is there can still be issues with moving around while driving (notably motion sickness). To combat this issue simply put down towels/blankets so they’ll stay comfortable while sitting still somewhere else besides behind your seat!
• Easier maintenance costs such as grooming equipment needed at home (e.g., brushes) which equals savings on money spent monthly basis too 🙂

Conclusion

If you’re looking for a new puppy, consider one of these smaller breeds. They are not only fun and playful, but also make great companions for those who want an affectionate dog in a small package.
