What is your favorite small dog breed?

[Ilovedogs56]

Just as the title says... and you know the rest.

 

[MicksMom]

Chinese Cresteds

 

[Laurelin]

I will shock everyone with this, I am sure.

Papillons.

 

[BostonBanker]

Cavaliers

 

[milos_mommy]

Favorite: JRTs

Small dogs I would seek out:
Poodles
Pugs
Pomeranians
Chihuahuas
Patterdale terrier
Papillions

I wouldn't be opposed to owning a lot of others, though! I think if the right small dog of almost any breed came along while I was looking Id take them...maybe not a shiba, Japanese chin.

Papillons.

Wait, what? Since when?

My favorite is the JRT. I also like my neighbor's Shih Tzu, cuz she's adorable and sweet.

Also, Frenchies and Bostons. Patterdale seem like excellent dogs as well, but don't really know enough about them yet.

Plus Cresteds and American Hairless Terriers... Not to mention Xolos... Although, I'd totally get a standard Xolo.

Well, I'm a big fan of Yorkshire Terriers but I don't know that they're my favorite. lol

Jack Russell Terrier, maybe.

 

[Grab]

I'm really fond of (well bred) Shih Tzus. As well as most small, scruffy things

 

[teacuptiger]

Oh, I forgot about Yorkies. They're awesome little dogs. I'd take the right one in a blink

 

[CrystalGSD]

Corgis.

 

[Red.Apricot]

Shelties, probably.

I like a lot of small breeds, though.

 

[Torch]

Beagles!

 

[Julee]

Corgis and shelties are totally too big to count.

JRTs and Frenchies for me. I really love cresteds, too.

Pfft shelties are teeny.

Fine if I can't choose shelties then I like Pekingese a lot.

If I can't say Corgis then I'll say Papillons

 

[*blackrose]

Would probably have to say the type B Rat Terriers/Teddy Roosevelt Terriers.

 

[Izzy's Valkyrie]

Tangos.... Or other non-shaky and actually dog-like Chihuahuas.

I love how papillons sound (as far a breed traits) and look but I haven't spent enough time with them to know if I love them like I do Tango.

I also like Italian Greyhounds

 

[JazzyTheSibe]

Papillons
Italian Greyhound
Miniature American Eskimo
French Bulldog...


That's it. I think.

I feel like "small dog" is relative to what dogs people currently have. Like corgis to someone with a mastiff would probably seem teeny tiny. Even when I go to the dog park with Fable, she is usually one of the smallest dogs there, although she seems pretty large to me (lol at 42 pounds) because 85% of the dogs I work with at the rescue are under 15 pounds.

I'll go ahead and say border terriers are my favorite small breed since corgis are more of a medium size. I also really like Iggies and Chinese Cresteds.

40lbs and under count in this thread!
