Yorkshire Terrier
The Yorkie (# 3) almost reached the Golden Retriever as the
second most popular dog in the United States in 2005. This wild dog toy
is very popular because it has all the admirable attributes of larger
dogs but in miniature. The typical Yorkie plays hard and has limitless
energy. With persistence a Yorkie can be obedience trained. Some are
bright and learn quickly, while others are more stubborn and headstrong.
Yorkies get along well with other pets, but they can be very possessive
of their food and toys. The Yorkshire makes a better pet for older and
quieter children. Yorkshire barks at strangers, often in a high pitched
voice. Early socialization for the dog not too shrill and to ensure
barking is controlled is required.
Poodle (toy)
All the
wonderful things you can say about a Standard Poodle do not apply to all
toys or miniature versions. Toy Poodles (# 8) are less than 11 inches
at shoulder height but the same American Kennel Club standards to make
in all sizes. Toys are generally more sensitive than the standard and
are also more active, louder and less confident. Socialization and
training to fight against excessive barking and early lifting leg is
necessary. Although these dogs are very small, they still enjoy lots of
playtime and long walks. Toy Poodles will do fine with older considerate
children.
Shih Tzu
The exotic looking Shih Tzu (9) is one
of the toughest and most robust dog breeds. Shih Tzus are intelligent,
playful, affectionate, friendly, confident and outgoing. Shih Tzus make
great apartment dogs and companion dogs for the elderly. These charming
and friendly dogs are devoted to their owners and their families. They
make great traveling companions and rarely show aggressive behavior
toward strangers or strange animals. The breed gets along well with
older, considerate children.
Chihuahua
The Chihuahua (No.
11) is the smallest dog breeds. Chihuahuas are intelligent dogs,
charming and affectionate devoted to their owners. This breed needs
close contact with his family and make great companions. Chihuahuas can
have delusions of grandeur and self-confidence and will challenge much
larger dogs. Chihuahuas are good with older children if raised with
them. Chihuahuas are intelligent and can be trained fairly easily. Some
Chihuahuas can be overly insecure and are prone to excessive barking and
early socialization and training while a puppy is recommended.
Pug
The
Pug (No. 12) is a small sturdy dog is one of the most popular and
largest dog breeds. This charming, adorable and playful small dog will
make you laugh. The Pug is a companion, even tempered, quiet, pleasant
and friendly. This sturdy little dog breed is good with children and
with other pets although toddlers and small children should be
supervised carefully to ensure they do not harm the dog. The Pug does
not need much training but enjoys the process and is fairly easy to
train.
