We know you’re excited to see the cute small dogs we’ve rounded up, but there are a few things you should know about toy dog breeds first. For starters, they’re short and lightweight. “A toy breed typically refers to a very small dog, typically weighing less than 14 to 18 pounds,” says veterinarian Alena Rice, DVM, medical director of VCA Chicago N...
All dog breeds are susceptible to different diseases. Brachycephalic dogs, such as the pug and bulldog, have short snouts, which makes them more prone to breathing issues and heat stroke.

“In most of the animal kingdom, longevity increases with body size. For example, a mouse lives about 18 months, while an elephant can live for 90 years. However, with dogs, longevity decreases with increased body size,” says Dr. McCarthy. That’s why toy poodles may live well into the teens, but Great Danes rarely live past 10 years of age.
