Have
you ever wanted a dog, but not the kind that would take up more than
half of the bed when you’re sleeping? Or when you’re on a walk
and you’re the one controlling which direction you go instead of
the other way around? Many people believe that the biggest dogs,
like Labradors and German Shepards, are the more loyal dogs. Well,
I’m here to tell you otherwise. A dog is a man’s best friend,
regardless of shape and size. So, if a lap dog is what you’re
looking for, have you ever considered a toy dog?
What
do you think about when you hear the term “toy dog”? I can tell
you one thing, they are not the kind that you wind up and have to
insert batteries to make them bark. No, no, they move all on their
own and bark whenever they please. Toy dogs, unlike the child’s
term, are actually very small dogs, such as Chihuahua’s and the
Maltese. They are called “toy” dogs because of their miniature
size in comparison with other dogs.
“Toy”
dogs are becoming more and more popular as the days go on. These
little dogs are the result of generations of selective breeding, and
are generally very good companions. Their miniature size and playful
nature just better proves this.
Most
of the toy dog breeds hail originally from Asia where the process of
selectively breeding dogs to make them smaller is believed to have
begun, but there are plenty of toy breeds from other areas of the
world as well. I am going to take you down a list of the top 5 toy
dogs to have as a best friend.
The name may seem unfamiliar, but this happy
go-lucky-puppy is as friendly as can be! As a small dog that was
originally bred as a companion dog, the Bichon Frise possesses a
boisterous personality, and is very tolerant of children, other
animals and strangers. This breed is highly intelligent and very
trainable, making fetch all the more fun! These dogs have a short
and curly white coat that does require frequent grooming, and will
require a bit of washing from time to time. There’s no time like a
good bubble bath! We offer professional dog grooming services at Boca Village Animal Hospital.
