A small body does not always mean an easy routine. Use these guides to look at the work behind a breed’s appearance.
A breed is a starting point, not a personality test.
Look beyond the illustration
Age, individual experience, health, environment and the care you can provide matter when getting to know a dog. Appearance alone cannot establish temperament or suitability for your household.
Use this catalogue thoughtfully
Names come from the AKC breed directory. Recognition categories vary; a catalogue entry does not mean every organisation recognises the breed in the same way. Illustrations show a representative appearance, not every coat variation or individual. They cannot establish a dog’s ancestry. Mixed-breed and unknown entries are included as profile options, not recognised breeds.
