Small dogs

Why buy a small dog?

1. Size and living space: Small dogs need less space than large breeds. If you live in an apartment or house with limited space, a small dog may fit better in your home. They are often better suited to urban environments or homes without a large garden.
2. Grooming and effort: Small dogs generally require less grooming than large dogs. They often have shorter coats, which are less prone to matting and require less effort to groom. They also require less food, which results in lower costs.
3. Mobility and traveling: Due to their smaller size, small dogs are often easier to transport. They are easier to carry in carrier bags or travel baskets. If you like to travel or want to take your dog on public transport frequently, a small dog may suit your lifestyle better.
4. Family dogs: Small dogs can be good companions for families, especially for families with small children. Many smaller dog breeds are quite playful, affectionate and patient and can adapt well to different situations. There is also generally less risk of injury during interactions with small children.
5. Activity: Small dogs often have less energy and a lower need for exercise compared to large dogs. If you don’t have the time or ability to provide long walks or intense physical activity, a small dog may be a better fit for your lifestyle.

Regardless of the breed or age of the dog you choose, you should make sure that you have enough time in your daily routine to meet the dog’s individual needs and give it the care and attention it requires, including daily walks and regular visits to the vet.
