5 Small Dog Breeds That Always Stay Small No Matter Their Age

3. Chihuahua – This is the most famous dog and is stated as the tiniest dog breed. So many actors and actresses are keeping this breed as pets. This makes Chihuahua a very popular dog breed.

Do you know they are also called purse pooch? This is because they can easily fit in a purse like an accessory. You don’t have to basically tie them with a leash. They are ready to jump in your palm or in your bag!

They have an average height of 7 inches and weigh somewhere between 2 and 6 pounds. You can very well imagine how light they are. You can pick them up at once and keep them close to your heart.

So, should you own them? To be true, Chihuahuas have their own temperament and are compatible with few people. If they get the right home and a caring person, they can prove to be the best pet ever. It is better to do some research before you own the Chihuahua. Know their temperament and eating pattern.

  1. Agree. But don’t Pomsky (Pomeranian + Husky) could be much bigger. In fact, you can’t predict pomsky’s size

    1. That was a reply to Jake’s comment 🙂

  2. Great list! I love your first choice, I have a Papillion/Japanese chin mix and he will be my puppy no matter how old he gets! 🙂

  3. I’m not really used to dogs, not that I hate them but I never had one. But, ever since my boyfriend had one and my workplace has a Japanese Spitz mixed with Pomeranian. I’m starting to think about getting one. They’re so sweet and adorable even the big ones. Thank you for sharing this informative article, I have more ideas about dog breeds. 🙂

  4. Although I have big dogs – 2 German Shepherds and a Shep Collie mix, I love small breed dogs. They have the hearts of lions and fear nothing!

    And Bostons are my favorite! They are also known as the American Gentleman. I know the coolest Boston named Angus after Angus Young from AC/DC! He’s not scared one bit by my big dogs.

    Anyway Angus loves camping trips and Clair, his mom keeps him in her bag too when we visit curio shops on a trip. Of course it’s a big bag! But Angus is happy as a bug in a rug!

  6. Yorkshire terriers make amazing companions! I’ve had two for a little over ten years now, and they are, by far, the best dogs I have ever had and so easy to take care of. Thanks so much for the info about other small breeds!

  7. Crossbreeds of these tiny dog breeds are also a great choice, many shelters have a ton of chihuahua mixes available. They’re great to travel with!

  10. Hi,

    Actually when people with a family having some children decide to go on for a pet they always prefer small pets.
    Because they are Easy to handle, are safe, looks Cute and do not require much maintenance and care.

    In many cases people don’t adopt dogs because they require much larger space and needs daily Field travel. If you would buy a smaller breed of dog then it relieves much of your worries.

    You can go for Guinea pigs if you want small pet.

    With regards,
    Saurav

  11. My favorite small dog breed has to be the French Bulldog. They are so cute, and if you wear a beret and hold a baguette when you walk them in the street you look very sophisticated 😉

  12. Don’t forget about the Pomeranian too! Full grown they’re only about 8 to 11 inches tall and weigh between 3 to 7 pounds, now that’s a tiny dog!
