Shopping For Dogs In The Toy Group

The average future dog owner does not own acres of property. They don't have a fenced backyard or thousand of square feet inside their home. They haven't thought about their possessions being coated in dog hair or the bags they'll need to purchase to pick up Fido's poop. They just see a sweet little face with big paws, and wouldn't that little diamond-studded collar look so cute on her? Are you an average future dog owner? By selecting a smaller dog, especially one in the Toy dog group designated by the AKC, getting your sweet little puppy will give you less heartache down the

There are many advantages to purchasing a smaller dog, or a Toy dog. If you live in an apartment, your little pooch will be able to stretch its legs each day just by running around. When you do take your dog outside to use the bathroom your cleanup will be much easier (if you live in a city that requires you to tidy up and scoop the poop). Being able to control your pup is easier too. Remember how your arm nearly came out of your socket when your German Shepherd saw that squirrel? Never again! You'll also save money in food cost. You won't have to purchase dog food in the fifty

pound bags and lug them up three flights of stairs to your food-vacuum mutt. And speaking of vacuuming, that's something you'll be able to avoid, especially if you choose a shorthaired dog. Some of the Toy dogs have longer hair and require regular grooming. If you plan to breed or show or dress your Toy dog, this will be something you are aware of and are looking forward to.
Disadvantages to owning a toy dog seem to center around the "idea" of them. You want the idea of a big dog for security reasons. And with Toy dogs weighing on average 5 pounds (bitches' weighing even less) that

isn't mentally reassuring. But these little ankle biters are just as protective as a big hound. In fact, small dogs are downright fearless. Men don't want to own a Toy dog because small dogs are meant to lie on Grandma's lap and in the purse of Paris Hilton. This isn't the case! These miniature tail-waggers have boundless energy in spurts and can bring back a tennis ball with the best of them.
Getting a purebred dog is a fine idea and when you purchase a purebred, you have a good idea of what they'll look like when fully grown and what to expect from their bloodlines. But rescuing a

fleabag stray is a noble thing to do, and whichever pair of eyes and wagging tail you fall in love with is all right. People may consider all small dogs to fall into the "Toy dog" category, but according to the AKC the Toy list is as follows: Affenpinscher, Brussels Griffon, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chihuahua, Chinese Crested, English Toy Spaniel, Havanese, Italian Greyhound, Japanese Chin, Maltese, Manchester Terrier, Miniature Pinscher, Papillon, Pekingese, Pomeranian, Poodle, Pug, Shih Tzu, Silky Terrier, Tiny Fox Terrier and the Yorkshire Terrier.
