Toy Poodle
Despite their tiny size, Toy Poodles stand proudly among Dogdom’s aristocrats. Beneath their curly, low-allergen coat lies an elegant and athletic companion for all reasons and seasons.
Forget the old stereotypes of Poodles as pampered dogs. Poodles are eager and incredibly smart dogs of remarkable versatility.
Norwich Terrier
Norwich Terriers are fearless dogs named after their hometown in England. The old cliché “a big dog in a small package” was coined for breeds like the Norwich, who can be unaware that they are just 10 inches tall.
Happy-go-lucky, fearless, and sometimes even bossy, Norwich Terriers are energetic enough to play all day, but affectionate enough to enjoy hours of lap time with their favorite human.
Australian Silky Terrier
Small but not weak, feisty but not yappy, pretty but not sculpted, Silky Terriers are 10-inch-tall energetic dogs, animated by curiosity and high spirits.
They are a charming member of the Toy Club. Silky Terriers are compact and glossy-coated, but still true terriers of lively spirits. The Silky, although a native of Sydney, Australia, is larger than his close cousin, the Yorkshire Terrier.
The Pomapoo
The Pomapoo is a sweet, often shy cross between a Pomeranian and a Poodle. Pomapoos love to play, but they’re also content laying on the couch with you after a hard day at work. Their Pomeranian side gifts them with their gentle personality, while the Poodle in them lends to their high levels of intelligence.
They are said to be great dogs for seniors, but they don’t do too well around young children who may be a little rough with them. Pomapoos are also known as a “teddy bear dog,” and are fiercely loyal to their people. This breed has actually been around for quite some time but has gained more popularity over the past couple of decades.
Shetland Sheepdog
The Shetland Sheepdog, also known as the Sheltie, is an extremely clever, alert, and obedient herder dog from Scotland’s remote and rugged Shetland Islands.
Shelties bear a strong family resemblance to their bigger cousin, the Collie. Bright and keen Shelties are easily trained but they are also sensitive and affectionate family dogs, highly in tune with the mood of the household.
