Toy Group

Dogs in the toy group are small, often miniature-sized breeds known for their companionship and lapdog qualities. This group includes breeds like the Chihuahua, Pomeranian, and Yorkshire Terrier. Despite their diminutive size, toy dogs often have big personalities, displaying charm, intelligence, and sometimes a feisty disposition.

These breeds are particularly suited for living in small spaces like apartments due to their size. They are beloved for their affectionate nature and ability to form strong bonds with their owners, often being very loyal and loving. While they require less exercise than larger breeds, toy dogs still need regular physical and mental stimulation.

Due to their small stature, they are more vulnerable to cold weather and physical injury, so they often require extra care and attention in these areas. Their grooming needs vary widely among the breeds, from the minimal-care coat of a Chihuahua to the high-maintenance coat of a Shih Tzu.

Toy breeds are ideal for individuals or families looking for a small, affectionate pet that enjoys being close to their human companions. Their small size and lower exercise requirements make them excellent choices for older people or those with limited mobility.
