　You should not choose their decision small breed of dog to "go" is based, or you could find yourself with a dog that does not behave as expected or does things that do not like!

Here is a quick and useful to highlight key points to consider when choosing a puppy:

Size

In general, there is a small dog weighing under 22 kg or 16 cm shorter question. Some breeds of dogs on our small site are much lighter and shorter than that and some of them are a little heavier and bigger than that - but they are all small dogs, but ( although there are borderline cases between small and medium enterprises).

Some breeds like the Chihuahua is the smallest of the small ... with a weight of only 6 to 8 pounds and was only 6 to 10 cm high. Although most small breeds such as Staffordshire Bull Terrier weighs 24-36 kg and are 14-16 cm high.

It's your choice if you want a tiny dog like a Chihuahua or you do not mind a big dog like a small Staffordshire Bull Terrier. It should not interfere in any way. Very young children are actually easier to collect, carry and transport!

Training capacity

Any small breed can be trained to learn the controls, but also to learn some of the commands faster than others. Rapid learning of the race is much easier to train and learn the commands in less time. If a race slower learning requires more patience and time to train.

If you want a dog but not a lot of patience and time to train a race to choose easy to train. (Select a race with 8 or more stars of "trainability.")

Cascade

Some dogs shed little almost glabrous. These fall low excretion as you find a hair in your fight against the house. If you do not like dog hair and has no time for empty extra, then one of these races is good for you (choose a breed less than two stars of "dumping").

Other race throw a moderate amount of hair, you will find some stuck on the carpet, clothing and a sofa. If you do not mind a little hair at home if you have a wider variety of breeds, select only the low shedders (choose a race with 7 stars or less, of "dumping").

Then there is the ship and race it a. -not tomorrow! These breeds shed large amounts of hair! If you own, you will find the hair around the house. Here you will find a lot of hair on the carpet, sofa and clothes. It is likely that even at the kitchen table and refrigerator. Is everywhere! But if the hair does not bother you then you can have a dog with a height of dumping and that you have the largest selection of breeds to choose from. (The super-high excretory 80-10 stars are classified as "dumping." Avoid Certainly, if she does not like hair.)

Low maintenance

Dog care is reduced to two things: brushing and vacuuming. Some breeds are virtually maintenance free, requiring only occasional brushing and not nearly as hair fall all you need is not empty.

Do you need a brush for long haired dogs daily, so the coat caught the impossible, the tangled mess! However, you can do so by his coat shortcut to avoid (short clip every few months - it only takes 30 minutes to do) and then just occasionally they sweep the table (problem solved!). So, not for short-haired breeds are limited if you do not have time for brushing. You can always choose a breed with long hair, just a short clip her hair to make it easy to keep clean.

If you do not have time to vacuum hair, whatever, then you will want to breed with low rainfall.

Children

Most dogs - big or small - are good with children when they grow up like a puppy with them.

The fact is that every child who is too rough or not, makes fun of a dog is in danger of being bitten. If your dog has in his eyes, pulled his ears, and be smothered by her natural instinct to defend itself and is probably a warning of a few drinks and grunts, and when they bite, it can continue.

Therefore, if you have young children and adopt a dog in your home is your responsibility to supervise their children around the dog and teach them to respect and be kind to him. So the chances of your child bitten virtually none.

Watchdog

Almost all small dog breeds make good guards recently - they are all a kind of shock (growling and barking) - when a stranger enters their territory. However, some breeds better to work than others. Some are very vigilant and unyielding bark when a stranger in "their" property. (Choose a 8-10 star race watchdog, if you want to consider monitoring the race.)

Allergies - Hypoallergenic Dog?

Contrary to popular belief, there are dog hairs that allergies (sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose) is the dog dander (dead skin flakes or) to causes. These microscopic dander floating in the air and when inhaled or if it is to him that the allergic reaction.

All dogs with skin (all) cause dandruff. There is therefore no such thing as a dog, big or small, do not produce and therefore safe for people with allergies. There are small dogs under the skin, however, they produce less dander. It is also believed that the races are small excretory hair has also been less dander.

So if you have allergies to shed, first consider a small dog (which is on the website on the right side) and a second hangar as a lower caste, like a poodle or Maltese, or any other races many countries with low excretion. (Choose a breed that is classified as 1 or 2 stars for "dumping")

And to be sure, if you arrange for allergies, some time around some dogs of the breed you are interested in taking (perhaps in a house for farmers) - to ensure they do not trigger Allergies .. . before reaching one!
