Small dogs are smart and nimble, occupying little space. They cause less damage compared to large dogs and also cost much less. Many people who like small dogs don’t know which breed to choose, so the editor has compiled a list of small dog breeds suitable for apartment living for you to check out.

First, a little popular science: Teddy refers to a grooming style of the Poodle (detailed introduction), not a breed by itself, so Teddy is actually a Poodle! However, Teddy has its own characteristics and differs somewhat from a purebred Poodle. Poodles have more protruding muzzles and pointed chins, while Teddy’s muzzle is shorter and the chin is rounder! Poodles are intelligent, vocal, and understanding. There are miniature and giant types, but here we are talking about the small-sized Poodles!

The short-legged Corgi is very amusing just because of its four short little legs. Besides being cute, the Corgi is also very intelligent and brave, as well as very gentle. Within this small body lies the soul of a Golden Retriever or Labrador! It’s very lovable!

Chihuahuas are the smallest breed in terms of dog size. Because of their small size, their big eyes are extremely adorable. Many girls cannot resist the Chihuahua’s eyes and are instantly charmed! Besides being cute, Chihuahuas are also highly intelligent and very agile, like a child sticking close to its owner!

In recent years, there have been many Pomeranians domestically. Their size is also very small, and their fur is very abundant and feels very textured to the touch! Moreover, Pomeranians have a very cheerful personality and are very friendly and loyal to humans, making them suitable for girls to raise!

Bichon Frises look quite similar to Poodles, with white fur and intelligence ranking among the top dogs. They are very smart, and their fur does not shed naturally!

The Pekingese is a fairly common breed domestically, with very abundant fur. This dog has a strong personality and a strong competitive spirit but is very intelligent and quite easy to train! However, this kind of dog is prone to illness, requiring careful care from the owner!
