Small Dogs With Wrinkled Faces
The Most Popular Small Dog Breeds
Author: Beth Guide
In todays society there is a growing fad for small dogs. With so many different breeds it's hard to keep track of all of them. We will discuss this fad and the most poplular of the small dog breeds.
More and more people are living in small metropolitan areas and have limited space for keeping a large pet in an appartment. This is one of the reasons that small breed dogs are becoming so popular in that sector. Small breeds are great because they can comfortably live inside small living areas, they don't create a lot of waste, and they make loving companions with unique personalities. It is important to remember that different breeds have different temperaments and characteristics, and if you decide you want to own one it is important to know them. Some of the most popular dog breeds are as follows:
*Chihuahua - The Chihuahua has over time become the most popular of the small dog breeds. Celebrities like Paris Hilton carrying her pet Chihuahua everywhere she goes has done a lot for their promotion. They are the smallest dog breed in the world, but their temperament doesn't show it at all. Chihuahua's like to bark at larger breeds and even show aggression towards them. Keeping them away from larger dogs is a must for every owner. Picking a fight with other large dogs is something you don't want with this little pet. Although Chihuahaus are very smart, they are also somewhat stubborn when it comes to training them.
* Yorkie - The Yorkie is the second most popular dog breed in the United States. They are loving, loyal, energetic and highly intelligent dogs, Yorkies are known for their long, flowing hair which leads to lots of dog competition awards. Thier intelligence level is notorious, as they can learn commands much faster than the majority of other dog breeds. Some tricks you can teach a Yorkie are laying down, go fetch (of course), standing up, sit and whatever else your imagination can come up with.
* Poodle - This breed of dog is known for their elegance in the show ring. Their coats do require regular, professional grooming to keep their lofty look, but they don't shed like some other breeds, which is a plus. The poodle is also a very intellegent breed and are often used in circus shows around the world.
* Pug - Pugs are recognized right away because of thier wrinkled faces that people seem to adore. Very social dogs, they seem to adapt well with other animals and people, but they are somewhat difficult to potty train.
If you are thinking about owning a small breed dog the above are some of the most popular, but there are many other options. You may look around and find a breed to like better.

RE: Dogs on hikes
I for one welcome any well-behaved pet on hikes as long as the owner is fully responsible for the actions of the dog. Some dogs are fantastic hikers and can be an asset (think of the dog who stayed with the lost autistic boy in the woods, or dogs who fend off the attack of wild animals on their owners), while others could be a detriment – chasing off small wildlife or birds, knocking people over, etc. I suggest dogs are allowed, however if any complaints are made against that particular dog, then that dog is no longer welcome, not a ban on all dogs or breeds. And i think that any hiker who is objecting to the behaviour of a dog on a hike should address this immediately to either the hike leader or the owner, and the owner must then immediately respond (ie, leash the dog, or walk at the back of the group). I think this issue has to be addressed on a case by case (dog by dog!) basis.
