Among miniature dogs there are individuals that are even smaller in size than a cat.
Why did the great minds of humanity put in so much effort to end up with such a “meager” result?
Indeed, Chihuahuas and the like are not capable of serving as guard or herding dogs.
But they are excellent hunters, and were primarily intended for this purpose. True, they were used to hunt exclusively rats.
Due to the fact that the distinctive features of miniature dogs are aggressiveness and inexhaustible energy, the nosy rodents have practically no chance of escape.
During the Middle Ages, these animals were, of course, not canonized, but they were certainly respected.
Both simple peasants and kings were ready to sing the praises of Chihuahuas, Yorkshire terriers and other dogs.
Many years have passed since then, and the true purpose of miniature dogs has been forgotten. But we are sure that even as loyal companions for their owners, these dogs give their all.
