We are famously a nation of dog lovers, but what's a person to do if they're living in a city? Or an apartment without a garden? Or busy juggling the demands of work and parenting with limited time for walkies? For many, one of the smallest dog breeds is the answer. Well suited to a range of environments, smaller dogs often adapt better.
Small dogs are also easier to physically handle and manage, more travel friendly and – in some cases – have lower exercise needs. Many small breeds often outlive their larger peers, plus their smaller size means lower food costs, and potentially less wear and tear on the house too.
