Small dogs

Small dogs are all those breeds whose shoulder height does not exceed 39 centimetres. These include, for example, the tiny Chihuahua or comparatively stately quadrupeds such as the English Bulldog.

Small dogs are very popular because of their compact size. Because many of them are perfectly suited for keeping as house dogs. In addition, the maintenance costs are usually much lower compared to large breeds.

In our breed portraits we present popular small dogs in detail. We tell you everything you need to know about their character, typical breed diseases and a diet adapted to the needs of each dog.
