If you want to acquire a sincere friend and reliable companion, but at the same time live in an apartment, take a closer look at small and beautiful decorative dog breeds.

These pets are easier to keep than their larger counterparts, and they bring no less joy.

Pomeranian Spitz

The weight of an adult dog does not exceed 3 kg, and the height is 30 cm. It is ideal for a single owner or an elderly couple, but it is not recommended for a family with small children to have this dog - it can become vicious.

Jack Russell Terrier

If you are looking for an active and jumping pet, then the Jack Russell Terrier is your option. An adult dog reaches a weight of 8 kg and a height of 30 cm. Due to its playfulness and activity, the dog is not suitable for elderly and inactive people.

Shih Tzu

"Chrysanthemum dogs" grow up to 28 cm and up to 8 kg, are very affectionate and tame, and have boundless love for their owners. Such a pet will fit perfectly into a family with children or other pets.

Chinese Crested

Representatives of this breed grow up to 30 cm and weigh up to 5 kg. The most common is the hairless Chinese dog, which has hair only on the tail, head, ears and paws. Due to the fact that the dog does not shed, even allergy sufferers can have it.

Poodle

The miniature poodle grows up to 38 cm and reaches a weight of 7-8 kg, and the toy poodle is even smaller (up to 24 cm and 5.5 kg). Very cheerful dogs that understand speech and love children, and also adore walks, games and tricks.
