Can you say Paris Hilton? Small dog breeds are certainly adorable and as cute as puppies are when they are first born, all though they do not increase in size as they grow. Many of the toy breed group have been carefully bred for centuries by way of selective miniaturization.
The small dog breeds fall into the dog breed category of The Toy Group. They are on average weighs less than 22 lbs. and is shorter than 16 inches. This is much smaller than other dogs.
Some of the Toy Group breeds are, like the Chihuahua, are the smallest dogs available, as they only weigh about 6 to 8 lbs. and are only 6 to 10 inches tall. The larger of the small dog breeds such as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier weighs around 24 to 36 lbs. and is about 14 to 16 inches tall.

West Highland White Terrier

I have a gorgeous rescued maltese x shitzu boy called Charlie. He is such a sweety. I have never known such a gentle dog. I also have pet rats and he loves them! When my little rat Summer was alive she used to sit on Charlie’s back and groom him. I love you breed pics, but maybe you could add West Highland White Terrier?
My family had Poppy the westie when I was growing up and she was a great friend to me.

As you wished, the pic of the West Highland Terrier is up! What a cutie!!! What a great story about the rat!
I would like to do a write up about your website, can you please provide me with a little bit of a history maybe and some of the main points that you would like me to cover on the topic of helping animals, you can use the contact form on this site at: http://www.cooldogbreedswithpictures.com/contact/ to send it. Thanks, will also send you an email.
Thank you for making my wish come true!
After a grieving period for Poppy, my family in the UK now have another little westie pup called Max and he is such a character. He is far naughtier than Poppy ever was. The other day Mum went out of the kitchen to answer the phone. When she got back Max was on the kitchen counter top eating a freshly baked cake!
I have sent you an email regarding my site – Thank you!

Your welcome, I will work on the post this week, thanks for your efforts to protect animals.
My husband and I are retired and live in a small cottage. Our decision to get a Cavalier King Charles was the best thing we have ever done. She doesn’t require a lot of space and she has been easy to train and handle. As long as she gets at least one nice walk each day she is a happy camper. She is the most loving dog we have ever had.

How cute, if you some photos, please send them to me and a small write up about her and yourselves and I will feature her in a post, email to support@cooldogbreedswithpictures.com.
