As a rule, people who live in an apartment choose a small-sized dog, because it is much easier to keep such a pet.
Today we invite you to learn about the smallest dog breeds.
Chihuahua
You may have already guessed that the Chihuahua tops this list – and your guess is correct.
However, this breed is considered the smallest only by weight - usually its representatives weigh from 1.8 to 2.7 kilograms. The height of the Chihuahua is not the smallest - dogs grow up to 15-25 centimeters.
Prague rat
The title of the smallest dog by height belongs to the Prague Ratter.
By the way, many people mistake this breed for grown-up Chihuahuas, but this is wrong – it is considered separate. The weight of such a pet is 1.5-3.5 kilograms, and its height is 20-23 centimeters.
Bichon Frise
This dog can be called a favorite among the residents of France and Italy, which is not surprising - this dog has a very cute appearance and fur.
The height of a Bichon Frise dog can be either 23 or 30 centimeters, while the weight, as a rule, does not exceed 3-5 kilograms.
