Regardless of whether it’s because you live in close quarters or if you just feel more comfortable owning a smaller dog, there are several breeds to choose from that’ll be the right fit for your family! Like all breeds, the smallest dogs in the world require special care, one of which is early socialization. Smaller dogs tend to be easily intimidated, which can cause them to lash out and defend themselves in unhealthy ways so socialization with other dogs is key.
