Toy Dog Breeds
Toy breeds might be short on size, but they are definitely not short on personality! Toy dogs were bred primarily as companion animals and are affectionate, sociable, and adaptable to a wide range of lifestyles.
Toy dogs are popular with city dwellers because they make ideal apartment dogs and terrific lap warmers on nippy nights.
These breeds probably arose when the runt of a litter might be given to the lady or children of the house as a companion dog. Over time, this lead to the development of the toy breeds; small, dainty and light enough to be carried around by their owners.
Breeds like the Cavalier King Charles and the King Charles Spaniels can trace their roots to the sporting spaniel breeds, but miniaturized and more docile.
However their old genes will still come through, they are smart full of energy and many have strong protective instincts.
