Pocket dog is the general name for miniature pets, the height of which does not exceed 20 centimeters at the withers. These include breeds such as the Chihuahua, Yorkshire and Toy Terriers, and the Chinese Crested Dog. By purchasing a pocket pet, you will get a true friend.
Decide what breed you want to buy. Chihuahua is a true miniature protector. The baby is brave and devoted to her master. If danger arises, she will certainly stand up for your defense and will do everything in her power - bark at the enemy or bite him on the finger. Chihuahua is very capricious and curious, has a lively character.
The Yorkshire Terrier is a calm pet. Gentle and friendly to others, he will allow guests to scratch his ear and agree to wear the new bow you bought for him. York is an intelligent and affectionate dog, rarely sick, but his coat requires careful care.
Toy Terrier is an elegant and slender dog that resembles a fawn in its appearance. Toy Terrier is an owner of high intelligence and an excellent watchdog. However, for some residents of apartment buildings, this can be a disadvantage - in an attempt to protect their property, she often barks.
The Chinese Crested is a dog with an unusual appearance that requires careful grooming. The advantage of this breed will be the absence of a characteristic "doggy" smell. This is a funny and sociable pet. Nevertheless, if the Chinese Crested sees that the owner is busy, she will not bother him with her company, but will go to bed.
After choosing a breed, pick a kennel or breeder from whom you will buy a puppy. Don't be tempted by newspaper offers of free classifieds or puppies offered in the poultry market. Instead of a purebred animal, you risk getting a mestizo that will grow twice the size promised. Read the breed forums and select a seller with good references.
If you choose a puppy personally, you should not take either a too assertive and aggressive, or a weak, frightened baby. Turn your attention to active and cheerful puppies who are eager to engage you in play or lick your hands. They will make good pets. If the kennel is located in another city, and you do not have the opportunity to see the dogs, tell the breeder in detail what kind of animal you want, what your daily routine is, if there are children at home, and the owner of the kennel will try to find a dog that is ideal for you.
