These small hypoallergenic dogs are perfect if your family has allergies but still wants a dog.

Most smaller dogs are perfect inside pets.  They are easy to care for, grow up with your children and can be loving and cuddly.

Small dogs are often the perfect choice for a small home, apartment or condo.

They are also excellent choices for those who want a pet that will snuggle, cuddle or sit in laps like a cat would.

The longer coat of the Shih Tzu requires a lot of maintenance grooming, but doesn’t she as badly as other breeds.  Daily combing, as well as regularly washing their hair is important.  Tangles can happen easily, but are easy to prevent if you are diligent in their care.  They are mild mannered, train well and are usually great with kids.

This playful and loving breed has hair that continually grows and doesn’t shed.  This requires regular visits to the groomer, daily brushing and routine maintenance, but the breed is super loving and a great choice for families with children.  They train easily and have tons of energy to play with the kids.

Maltese

This beautiful white dog has longer hair that rarely sheds.  Regular grooming and a bit of training makes the Maltese a great choice.  They do occasionally tend to have a bit of a territorial nature, so may not play well with other dogs already in the home.

These adorable dogs are tiny little creatures that are fiercely loyal.  While their longer hair does not shed much, it will change in color drastically as they age.  They are almost always darker haired as puppies but within a few years are light colored.  They train easily, but mostly they are excellent with children and really become little protectors of their charges.
