Dog Breeds in the Toy Group
There are small dogs in most of the groups, but the dogs in the Toy Group are the smallest. With their baby size and charming expressions, they are appealing to everybody. Because of their small size, though, toy breeds are delicate. Children must handle them carefully and gently. These dogs also need to be protected from hot or cold weather. The toy breeds enjoy being spoiled and petted, but not to excess. Many have big-dog personalities in their tiny-dog bodies. They don't require much living space, and will thrive in a calm family. Their size makes them portable, so you can take them almost anywhere with you.

I am looking to adopt or be given a toy dog that needs a loving and secure home. I cannot buy an expensive one but the small dog I get will live a very good life because I am able to provide medical care,food,etc. and specially a lot of love. I live alone,there are no children and I am a 68 year old widow wholoves dogs very much. Your pet will be safe and happy with me and will give me companionship. Thanks for listening .

I bought a "Morky", Maltese/teacup yorkie, female and she is absolutely adorable. The older she gets the more personality is appearing. She is not afraid of our two shorthaired domestic cats and she is definately not afraid of our Weimaraner. At first he didn't like her, but now he is warming up to her and occasionaly checks to see if she is alright in her crib. Yes, I said a crib.
