Information about Small Breed Dogs
All of the dogs listed below belong to the collection of dogs referred to as
best Small Breed Dogs.
Dogs in the Small Dogs Group were initially developed to ease the
lifestyle and provide pleasure to rich people. These dogs were initially owned
by the wealthy and were viewed by others as status symbols - a luxury item with
little apparent purpose. Dogs in other groups had specific working roles and
played a major part in providing food for the table and therefore justified the
cost of their upkeep and care - these were the dogs which were commonly owned by
the lower classes. Changes in the economy, lifestyles, living conditions and the
environment brought the luxury and pleasure of owning small breed dogs to everyone.
