Miniature Pinscher
Yorkshire Terrier
Pug
- If you or someone in your family has allergies, then pick:
Maltese (coat resembles human hair)
Shih Tzu (has hair rather than fur)
Toy Poodle (very minimal shedding)
- If you are living compact in an apartment or condo, and you dont want to upset your neighbours, then pick:
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Papillon
Pug
- If you can’t control these breeds barking or their hyper activity your neighbours may try to evict you:
Miniature Pinscher
Toy Poodle
Yorkshire Terrier
- If you have cats or other pets, then pick:
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Maltese
Pug
Shih Tzu
Toy Poodle

But avoid Chihuahua
- If your family has older children (please note that toy dogs are no recommended if you have very young kids), then pick:
