Very often, when choosing a pet, city residents consider small breeds of dogs. And no wonder: miniature four-legged animals are easier to keep in an apartment - there is no need for a large space. With such pets, long intensive walks and activities are not needed, as with representatives of large varieties. However, small dogs have their own characteristics - we will tell you about them.
Pros and cons of small dog breeds
From the point of view of breeders, such pets, like any other pets, have their advantages and disadvantages. First, let's note all the advantages
choosing a small dog as a pet.
- Such a pet does not need a large apartment or house - there is no need for a large space.
- Walks with small four-legged pets should not be very long, and exercises should not be long and intense (compared to large varieties).
- The smaller the pet, the less food it needs to satisfy itself, which means the cost of feeding is reduced.
- Dogs of small breeds do not pose a real threat to their owners and others, even if their instincts kick in - they are not difficult to deal with.
- Miniature animals are easier to move around - they can often be held in your arms or placed on your lap - no additional space is required.
- According to statistics, the life span of small dogs is longer than that of their large relatives. Moreover, they remain active longer, which is also a big plus for the owners.
They can also be cute, funny, amusingly clumsy... In general, there is no doubt that these animals are very charming! We have collected for you a large selection of small dog breeds with photos, names and descriptions so that everyone can choose a pet to their liking.
Before considering the varieties, let's note the disadvantages
compact dogs - it is also important to know them in order to make an informed choice.
- Miniature breed dogs are more likely to be injured when playing, falling or being hit because they have very fragile bodies.
- Unlike large dogs, small dogs do not need heavy physical activity, but they are considered “wind-up batteries” that do not get bored of running, jumping and playing. For owners, this can be debilitating.
- Often small dogs are more whimsical and need constant careful care, which also causes more trouble for the breeder.
Who is suitable for miniature dog breeds?
Small dog breeds are suitable for different types of breeders. If we talk about place of residence, then most often the owners of such pets are residents of apartments, especially those of a small area. Although small four-legged animals can be kept in a private home, the main thing is that the conditions are suitable.
As for the age of the owners, the miniature tailed friend will be an excellent companion for lonely people - they simply will have no time to be bored and sad. Such a pet is also quite suitable for married couples, but not always for families with children. We must take into account the fact that representatives of small breeds are very susceptible to injury. Therefore, families with small children are not recommended to have such dogs, or they need to be very attentive and careful. Ideally, children of owners of small dogs should be old enough to understand how to behave with an animal.
In the case of older people, the situation is also twofold. On the one hand, a miniature pet can become a real joy for older people - a creature to whom they will rejoice and give their care. A small breed dog often becomes a wonderful companion for retirees. However, there is another side to the coin - little four-legged friends can be very lively and require constant attention. Elderly people do not always have enough strength for such an active and mischievous pet.
Therefore, before getting a representative of small breeds, the future breeder needs to weigh all the pros and cons, thoroughly familiarize himself with the features of the chosen variety and understand whether he can provide the dog with comfort, safety and the necessary attention.

The best small dog breeds for home and apartment
Among a fairly large number of small-sized dogs, there are breeds whose representatives adapt better than others to living in an urban environment, small apartments and houses and become wonderful companions for city residents. Here are ten such examples.
Pekingese
One of the most ancient breeds, representatives of which lived under the Chinese emperors and were held in high esteem. You don’t need to run with them, just take a quiet walk for a short time. Ideal for apartment dwellers: if you train a Pekingese to use a litter tray, then early walks are not needed. But they need daily combing of their long coat, otherwise their gorgeous appearance will spoil.
Yorkshire Terrier
One of the most common breeds that are great for keeping at home. Ideal for apartments - they are almost not subject to shedding, which means there will be no hair everywhere. Another plus for allergy sufferers. At the same time, Yorkies are very cheerful, sociable and extremely fond of their owners.
Welsh Corgi Pembroke
An excellent companion, suitable for home and apartment. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is friendly and unpretentious. No haircut or special clothing is needed. They do not damage furniture and household items, so you can rest assured about your home interior. Another plus is unobtrusiveness, which means the owner can calmly go about his business. The only thing is that corgis really love to eat.
Pomeranian Spitz
This little dog loves cleanliness and washes himself with his paws like a cat. He likes to take long walks and is not averse to meeting new people. Pomeranians have very sensitive hearing and communicate danger by barking. In order not to disturb the neighbors, you need to carefully train him - he easily lends himself to this. Not recommended for families with children.
Bichon Frize
These small pet dogs are great for couples with children, even very young ones. The French lapdog is very friendly and actually never shows aggression. Learns to go to the litter box. One of the best options for city residents. Requires care for thick coat.
French Bulldog
A small dog with an elastic build, it is very popular among breeders in urban environments. The calm French Bulldog does not need very active and long walks, so these dogs are great for older people. Particular attention should be paid to your pet in winter: due to poor tolerance of low temperatures, you should buy him a warm overall. In summer you should avoid walking in the heat.
Pug
An excellent choice for apartment dwellers. The pug does not need long walks; he learns to go to the litter box. A balanced dog, he obeys his owners and is easy to train. All you have to do is brush it regularly and, to keep it from getting fat, watch its diet.
Dog breeds starting with B
Australian Cattle Dog
Also known as the blue heeler. The breed was developed in Australia by crossing the Smooth Highland Collie, Dingo, Dalmatian and Australian Kelly specifically for livestock guarding. These dogs are distinguished by their tirelessness, unpretentiousness, ability to survive in extreme conditions, and devotion. They are excellent hunters and watchmen; they learn very quickly even those skills that are not inherent in instinct. The Australian Cattle Dog obeys orders unquestioningly and is always ready to please its owner. A good companion for outdoor adventures. Does not tolerate loneliness and needs heavy daily physical activity. She is wary of strangers, can be aggressive, but, accustomed from puppyhood to the company of people, she is quite loyal. The weight of these dogs is 16-20 kg, height - 43-51 cm. The eyes are round, dark brown; the wool is thick, dense; the chest is wide; paws are wide, round with black pads.
Alaskan Malamute
The dog is adapted to living in cold climates. It has long been used by the Malamute tribe for sled riding. There are two varieties of this breed: M'loot and Kotzebue. The first is distinguished by its large size and variety of colors, the second is characterized by a wolf color. Like all sled dogs, Malamutes treat people well, even strangers, but they behave violently when left to their own devices - they will not harm any living creatures in the surrounding area. Properly brought up, they are friends with children, willingly give them sledding rides, and protect them. Dogs need constant physical activity - inactivity depresses them. Excellent companions for people who prefer an active lifestyle: long bike rides, travel. Interestingly, Malamutes love to skateboard. The weight of these dogs is 39-56 kg, height - 58-71 cm. The eyes are almond-colored, friendly and curious; the ears are small, densely covered with hair; the tail is fluffy, curled over the back; The legs are muscular and strong-boned.
American Cocker Spaniel
A breed of dog bred to hunt game birds. Descended from English cocker spaniels. Recently, it has been rarely used for hunting. The dog is famous for its affectionate and good-natured disposition and is an excellent companion for children and the elderly. Feels great in urban environments, but needs long walks. He loves to run and play. The dog is devoted to its owner, treats children well, and does not show aggression towards strangers and animals. Their flexible nature, desire to please people, and undoubted intelligence make the training process simple, so “Americans” are suitable even for inexperienced dog breeders. True, in order for a spaniel to have a neat appearance, the owner has to pay a lot of attention to its long coat. The weight of these dogs is 11-13 kg, height - 36-38 cm. The eyes are almond-shaped, with a soft and touching expression; ears are located at eye level; the coat is thick, fine, wavy and silky; the back is short; legs with wide feathers and “pants”.
English bulldog
The breed was bred in England as a fighting breed and was used in bullfights (bulldog translated from English as “bull dog”). This is a medium-sized dog, physically very strong, well built. In modern England, dog fights with bulls are not held, but dog handlers have tried to preserve the fighting qualities of the breed. So, having also a calm, balanced character, the bulldog is considered one of the best guards and companions. The dog gets along well in the city; it does not need much physical activity; long, slow walks with its owner are quite enough for it. Bulldogs are friendly towards strangers if they do not provoke them and play peacefully with non-aggressive dogs. Unfortunately, bulldogs are susceptible to various diseases, and their life expectancy is short - 8-10 years. The weight of these dogs is 23-25 kg, height - 30.5-36 cm. The eyes are wide apart; the nose is located close to the eyes; lips hang over the lower jaw; the coat is thick, thin, short, soft to the touch; paws are covered with thick skin and slightly turned outward; The front legs are muscular and widely set.
English Cocker Spaniel
A breed of hunting dogs bred to hunt game birds and, above all, woodcock. These woodland waders spend most of the day on the ground, and only a dog with a very fine sense can find them in the dense undergrowth. Surprisingly, in England, over time, cocker spaniels did not turn exclusively into companion dogs, but remain indispensable participants in woodcock hunting to this day. True, a special group of cocker spaniels consists of dogs used exclusively in various dog shows. Spaniels have a peaceful, affectionate character, are highly trainable (although it is necessary to exclude physical punishment in this process), and feel good in urban conditions if you take long walks and play with them outside every day. Excellent companions, with tenderness towards children. The weight of these dogs is 13-15 kg, height - 38-41 cm. The eyes are brown, with a calm expression; ears with long silky hair; the coat is thick, wavy, covering the protective undercoat; the tail is located below the back line; the legs are strong, broad-boned, with long feathers; The paws are dense and round, covered with thick hair.
English Mastiff
An ancient breed of dog, bred in ancient times and coming to Foggy Albion about 2000 years ago from Asia. The Romans brought out mastiffs for performances and fights in arenas and to participate in military operations. This is one of the largest breeds in the world - the weight of dogs can exceed 85 kg. Mastiff training should begin from an early puppyhood, otherwise the dogs may grow up to be aggressive. A properly raised mastiff is a dog with a surprisingly good-natured character, extremely obedient, courageous and calm. Such qualities make representatives of the breed ideal guards and companions. Features of the maintenance include the need for frequent (3-4 times a day) walks. Mastiffs, like most large dogs, do not live long - 9-11 years: these animals are too susceptible to various diseases. The weight of these dogs is 79-86 kg, height - 70-76 cm. The eyes are dark, widely spaced; the ears are small, very high set; the coat is short, thick, not too thin; the tail is wide at the base and tapering towards the end; legs set wide apart, straight, thick-boned; The paws are large, round, with arched toes and black claws.
Afghan Hound
Another name is Afghan. One of the most ancient breeds, dog experts believe that the ancestors of these dogs appeared on the territory of modern Afghanistan more than 7,000 years ago. They were used to hunt animals living in desert and mountainous areas: gazelles, snow leopards, wolves, goitered gazelles. The dogs are very fast, agile and resilient, and have a lively and restless disposition. Nowadays, there are three forms of Afghans: short-haired, long-haired and with hair on the paws and ears. Unfortunately, modern hunters practically no longer use them for their intended purpose: Afghans have turned into pets, companions, and decorative dogs. They need constant exercise to stay in shape, they must run and play a lot. Excellent companions for cycling trips outside the city. The weight of these dogs is 23-27 kg, height - 64-74 cm. The eyes are dark golden in color, triangular in shape; nose with a long graceful kick; ears are low set and close fitting; the neck is covered with long hair; the tail is set low and sparsely pubescent; the legs are strong, long, strong-boned, covered with thick hair.
Australian Shepherd
Dog handlers suggest that the ancestors of shepherd dogs were taken to Australia by emigrants from the Basque region, where they served to protect flocks. On the Green Continent, Australian shepherds came in handy: raising livestock, and, first of all, sheep, has long been considered one of the main branches of agriculture in the country. Nowadays, these dogs are also used as companions: they are wonderful companions on trips, especially long ones, they adore children and look after them. Australian Shepherds are strong, hardy, agile, and loyal to their owner and his family. However, keeping a dog in an urban environment is difficult: it needs a lot of physical activity, it is very active and playful, and can cause mayhem in an apartment. In addition, the herding instincts are so strong that the dog can frighten small children, constantly biting their legs, “knocking them into the flock.” The weight of these dogs is 16-32 kg, height - 46-58 cm. The nose is brown; the coat is thick, moderately hard; body of moderate length; paws are wide, strong; hind legs with long “pants”.
