Small Dog Breeds Generally a small dog is considered to weigh less than 22lbs or be shorter than 16 inches. Some of the small dog breeds are much lighter and shorter than this and some of them are a little heavier and taller than this--but they are all small dogs nevertheless (even though a few are borderline between small and medium sized). Small dog maintenance comes down to two things: brushing and vacuuming. Some breeds are almost maintenance-free and only require an occasional brushing and don't drop virtually any hair so you don't have to vacuum. You need to brush a long-haired dog daily so his coat doesn't become a matted and tangled mess! However, you can avoid this if you keep his coat clipped short (just clip it short every few months--it only takes about 30 minutes to do) and then you only have to brush it occasionally. Virtually all small dog breeds make good little watchdogs--they will all make some sort of commotion (growling or barking)--when a stranger enters their turf. But some breeds are better at this job than others. A few are highly alert and will bark unrelentingly if a stranger is on "their" property.
