The information below will help you decide which dog is a good fit for your lifestyle, however there is so much more information about each breed over at smalldogbreeds.info.

Kyi-Leo is a breed that can weigh under 10 pounds when fully grown, but is more likely to weigh around the 14 pounds mark as a fully grown adult dog. This breed is good with children, but is not so easy to house train.

English Toy Spaniel is another breed in this size category that is good with kids, however it is not a low shedding breed and will be reserved around strangers.

Australian Terrier will weigh between 11 and 14 pounds when fully grown, it can be problematic around other dogs and small pets like cats unless raised with them.

Japanese Spitz will make a top watchdog, however this is a high shedding breed. You are going to have to invest in a good pet hair vacuum cleaner if you choose to go with this breed of dog.

Coton De Tulear is a low shedding small dog breed that is good with children. It is fairly easy to house train although is not the cleverest small dog in the world.

Lancashire Healer is a breed that could weigh under 10 pounds when fully grown, it is more likely to weigh around the 13 pound mark. This dog has high energy levels and will need regular daily exercise.

Havanese is such a cute little dog that is really friendly and is good with children and small pets like cats and birds and even hamsters.

Bichon Frise could just weigh 6.5 pounds when fully grown, could weigh a maximum of 13 pounds. This is a low shedding breed that is good with cats.

Norfolk Terrier is a small dog breed that will not get along with small pets like cats, however it is a low shedding breed but is considered difficult to house train.

Norwich Terrier is good with children and low shedding, however it is not good with small pets and will probably chase and injure them.

Pekingese is a small dog breed with a shortened nose, meaning it will have breathing difficulties in hot weather and will definitely snore. This breed has low energy levels and will be happy to laze around the house all day long.

Chinese Crested Powderpuff is a low shedding breed even though it has really fluffy fur. It is definitely not the easiest small dog breed to house train that's for sure.

Chinese Crested Hairless is a breed that could possibly weigh under 5 pounds when fully grown, will more than likely weigh around the 12 pound mark. Being hairless as you would expect it is a low shedding dog breed.

Volpino is good with children and easy to train, however it is a high shedding small dog breed. These dogs are also known for excessive barking.

Border Terrier is a lovely little dog that will hardly shed any fur at all. These small dogs make really good little watchdogs.

Miniature Dachshund is good with children and makes a good watchdog. The long haired version will need daily grooming and is considered high maintenance in this area.

Miniature Pinscher will weigh between 9 and 11 pounds as a fully grown adult and is good with kids but not to be trusted around small animals like cats and hamsters.

Brussels Griffon is another short nosed small dog breed that will have breathing difficulties in hot weather conditions. This is another small dog breed that is good with children and low shedding.

Papillon is good with other small pets and is known to be a clever little dog that will be easy to house train and even teach tricks to should you wish to do so.

Phalene is another dog that is easy to house train and is also good with kids. It has medium exercise demands and will be reserved around strangers unless well socialised.

Italian Greyhound will weigh between 8 and 10 pounds as a fully grown adult dog. It is good with children and small pets.

Toy American Eskimo Dog is a breed with high exercise demands and is definitely not suited to an owner that is not very active.


This video shows the little Italian Greyhound, if you are looking for a sweet-natured and rather sensitive small dog breed then this is the one for you.
