If you want a guard dog, go get a Belgian Malinois. If you want a tough-looking dog, go get a Bulldog. If you want a hard-working dog, go get a German Shepherd. If you want a dog that fits perfectly in your bag and one you can tote around in public, get a toy dog.

The toy dog is one of the most recognized, and arguably the most-pampered breed of dogs in the world. They have loads of films and TV shows and commercials dedicated to them. They have become something of a fashion symbol that even celebrities like to carry them around like just like any other fashion accessory. They get pampered with manicures, shampooed, premiere dog food, and other expensive stuff that can make anyone else’s weekly grocery purchases pale in comparison. What exactly makes toy dogs so alluring and fascinating, both to celebrities and the general public alike?

To begin with, a toy dog is generally a type of dog that belongs to a breed of small-sized dogs. Their diminutive size and expression have lent them an enduring appeal throughout history. It turns out the trend of having a toy dog in your bag wasn’t started by Paris Hilton. Toy dogs were apparently highly-prized by royalty and nobility and were often worn as a fashion symbol, and partly because of their warmth. To unbelievers, there are numerous 16^th century court portraits featuring toy dogs with their royal patrons. It turns out that they were really popular back then, as they are now.

Toy dogs can make excellent companions for many reasons. Their small size means they have less living space which is great for small households. They are also good for people with a more sedentary lifestyle, or for the elderly and disabled, plus they are easy to pick up and carry around, making them perfect for travel. Also, toy dogs need less exercise, eliminate less often than larger dogs, and need less food and water.

If you are looking to purchase a toy dog, then purchase them not as mere fashion accessories. However small they may look, toy dogs are faithful guardians of the household and will stand up to anyone they perceive as a threat. It’s not unusual for anyone to see toy dogs barking fiercely at much larger opponents if they need to defend their home and family. These breed of dogs are also extremely loyal to its owner. Many will bond with a single owner for a lifetime. Plus, these dogs are a remarkably healthy and durable breed, with an average lifespan of 14 years or longer.

Like any other pet, however small they are, they carry a big responsibility. We should always make sure to care and treat them like a part of the family. Give them the proper food and shelter and love that they deserve. In return, your toy dog will give you the companionship that you will surely enjoy for a long time to come.
