10 Cute, Small Dog Breeds That Will Put A Smile On Your Face

Whether you’re a cat or a dog person, there’s no denying the fact that small dogs look cute. And the smaller the dog breed, the more we tend to like it! It’s true that a tiny dog might not be as efficient as a big one, but these little fellas are just as brave, despite looking utterly adorable. And that is exactly why we love them so much! These tiny dog breeds were definitely created to make people smile (at least we think that’s the real reason). Here are 10 cute, small dog breeds that will definitely put a smile on your face.

 

 

Bichon Frise
Bichon Frise is among the most charismatic dog breeds that are naturally adorable. Just look at those tiny black eyes and all that unbearable fluff! These little critters are also hypoallergenic, so if you have problems with fur, but love fluffy animals nonetheless, Bichon Frise is you best option!

 

 

Russian Toy Terrier
Russian Toy definitely looks like a cute little doggie toy. It is a rare breed morphed from an English Toy Terrier and is among the smallest dog breeds on Earth. Russian Toys are friendly with kids and other pets, so if your cat is looking for a dog-friend – this is it!

 

Papillon
Papillons not only look cute, but they are also among the most active small dog breeds out there. These dogs are agile, smart, and love learning various tricks as well as doing all kinds of stuff with their owner. He’ll become the perfect Robin to your Batman and the two of you will become inseparable!

 

 

Boston Terrier
If you think you’re not into dogs, wait till you meet this little fella. Boston Terriers are astonishingly intelligent and amusing at the same time. This little guy is smart, stylish wearing his unique tuxedo coat, and absolutely adorable in everything he does.

 

Havanese
Cuba’s national dog is everything you want your pet to be: friendly, smart, small, and utterly charming. Havanese dogs like sports, so despite their compact size, they can easily become your running companions or even motivate you to move more! They also like to be around humans and are pretty good at warming your lap if need be.

 

 

Pomeranian
Pomeranians probably don’t consider themselves cute, but that shouldn’t stop you if you’re into adorable animals – because Pomeranians are that and much more! Their agility and extrovert personalities make them good friends for kids and amazing companions for adults. They might be a little bit arrogant, but their cuteness overweighs everything else.

 

Japanese Chin
Japanese Chins look regal and most of the time even act like aristocrats. Nevertheless, they have outgoing, cheerful personalities that make them perfect pets. And just look at that long silky fur! It takes some grooming to make it look great, but your dog will look truly spectacular if you put some effort into it.

 

Yorkshire Terrier
Small Yorkshire Terriers have personalities larger than life itself. They’re agile, bouncy, inquisitive, affectionate, and sporty enough to play with you for hours. Yorkies can look like supermodels with that silky fur of theirs that tends to grow really long. Make sure you groom it the right way!

 

 

Lhasa Apso
Lhasa Apso is one of those rare small dog breeds that can actually guard your home. At the very least, Lhasa Apso can help a bigger dog watch your household and you can rest assured he is brave enough to do that. Apart from that, these dogs like to snuggle with people and are playful beyond words. It’s everyone’s dream pet!

 

Pug
Pugs are really hard to beat when it comes to cuteness packed into a small body. You can’t go down the street without dozens of people stopping by to gaze at your dog and smile at least a little bit. Pugs have mischievous personalities, kind hearts, and cute funny faces you fall in love with immediately.
