Classes Of Small Dogs Explained - Part Two
Part two of this article on small dog breed types covers small dogs in the non-sporting, toy, terrier, and herding groups.
Terrier Dogs
Terriers were bred for the hunt - rabbits, foxes, rats, and even badgers, otters, and river rats. These days, almost all terriers are bred as pets. And with their loyal and affectionate temperament, they make great pets. However, they are dogs with strong personalities, and they need equally strong willed owners. This is just as true for the small, toy terriers - their personalities are just the same as their larger terrier cousins. Terriers also have a lot of energy, so will need their exercise. They have wiry coats, and special grooming needs in order to maintain that characteristic wiriness}.
There are many small breeds in the terrier grouping. They are: the Border Terrier, Manchester Terrier, Irish Terrier, Australian Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Norwich Terrier and Norfolk Terrier, Kerry Blue Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Welsh Terrier, Smooth Fox Terrier, Bedlington Terrier dog breed, Scottish Terrier and Sealyham Terrier.
Toy Dogs
Toy dogs are amongst the most well known of the small dogs, due to their popularity with celebrities and people alike. Because some toy dogs are large breeds bred down to size, you'll find toy breeds in many of the other groups as well.
Toy dogs are friendly, though they can be angry and fierce as well. They do make great lap dogs, however, and are often cherished members of the family, akin to a child. Toy dogs include: Miniature Poodle, the Papillon, Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Shih Tzu, and the Pomeranian dog breed.
Non-Sporting Dogs
Non-sporting dogs is a general term for those breeds the AKC recognizes, that don't fit into any of the other categories. They are different in terms of their coat, color, ancestry, size, and temperament. Small breed dogs in this category include: the bichon frise, Boston Terrier, Tibetan Terrier, Tibetan Spaniel, Schipperke, Lhasa Apso, and the French Bulldog.
Herding Dogs
The herding dog category is relatively new. The dogs in this group used to be part of the working group. And, in many breed registrars across the globe they are still part of the working group, as a sub-classification. The dogs registered by the American Kennel Club are usually kept as pets, although working (and herding) dogs are still used throughout the world on cattle stations and farms due to their abilities to herd livestock. They are able to be trained to respond to whistles and commands, and are very good at their job. When herding dogs are pets, the herding instinct is still there. It tends to be channeled by gently herding their humans, particularly if there are any children in the family.
In the herding group, the small dog breeds are the Border Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi.
Miscellaneous Dogs
This category is for dog breeds not fully accredited by AKC. There aren't any small dogs in it currently, however.
