For most, the question of size is extremely important. It is necessary to understand how the puppy will grow, because it is not a toy for a few days, but a full-fledged member of the family. If a person does not have the opportunity and desire to get a big dog, then he will most likely choose a miniature one. But how to choose a small dog – the question is quite complex. Pay attention to the following factors:
1)the sex of the puppy;
2) the presence of a certificate of origin, if it is a thoroughbred dog;
3) cost-for many, this is the defining feature;
4) features of character and health.


Buying a dog is not buying something unknown. A person should be aware of what he will face in the future, since a four-legged creature can in many cases be compared with a child. It requires care, affection, attention and love. Especially if it's a small dog.

Among the various breeds, sizes and colors of puppies, you can easily get lost. Each dog has a unique character and temperament, which is revealed and manifested next to the owner. To choose a small breed of dog, you need to thoroughly prepare. Many people mistakenly think that if the puppy is miniature, then you do not have to walk with him at all. He's like a slightly different version of the cat-he's accustomed to the tray and that's it. Despite the fact that there is some truth in these words (a small breed can really be taught to go to the toilet for a diaper), walking with a pet is the most important duty of the owner. This is required even by room-decorative companions. Secondly, there is a judgment that pets of small sizes are not fastidious in food. Yes, such individuals eat less than large ones, but the diet must be balanced, high-quality and with a sufficient amount of vitamins. Often, decorative puppies have very fragile bones, so food filled with calcium and other minerals is extremely necessary.

Among the variety of small breeds of dogs, it is difficult to decide which one to choose. The breed is not always the main factor (for example, if a person does not intend to participate in international exhibitions). Based on the data that can be found in the public domain on a variety of cynological sites and women's blogs, the top most popular small dogs:
1) chihuahua – so small that it fits even in a lady's purse;
2) Pomeranian - despite its tiny weight (2-4 kg), it is a very brave dog with a clear voice;
3) pug – a breed bred in China, but which was liked by many around the world;
4) the Yorkshire Terrier is one of the most recognizable breeds, and in addition, it is the favorite breed of the popular English film actor Orlando Bloom. That's why I chose this one for myself, since this is my favorite actor))

So how to choose a small dog? First you need to carefully study the breeds that you like. But the most important thing is to be ready to share love and care, because in return, a four-legged friend will do the same!
