Keeping up with their larger canine counterparts, small dog breeds cover a large variety of doggy goodness.  Whether you’re talking favorite personalities, specific coat types, or a preferred activity level, small dog breeds are quick to be a match.  They’ll never outgrow their charming little size and they seldom weigh over 22 pounds.  Mature adults will peak in growth anywhere up to 16 inches at the shoulder.

Small dog breeds will keep a family laughing while warming the laps of any elderly folk.  No doubt they are the smallest of canine goodness; nonetheless, they’ll be happy to flaunt a big attitude.  Plus, thanks to their tiny size, small dog breeds are completely satisfied to settle into either a sprawling country dwelling or a tiny city flat.  Learn more about small dog breeds here or you can browse available small dog breed puppies here.

If visual is your game, or you’re going for a specific look, then enjoy scrolling through the following list of dog breeds with pictures.

Big Dog Breeds

They act big, they think big, and they love even bigger.  Big dog breeds live true to their name.  They are a big hunk of canine who require lots of exercise and mental activity.  While their size alone is often sufficient to ward off unfriendly strangers, you can count on many big canines to protect with their lives.

 

Find your own huge dog breed.

 

Thanks to their size, big dog breeds require lots of space.  Think big dinner bowls, big dog collars, big spaces to roam, and big cozy beds.

To avoid obnoxious big dog behaviors, be sure to provide large canines with frequent exercise.  Whether it’s a game of fetch in the backyard, a walk through the park, or a hike through the woods, exercise is a must for the well-mannered canine hunk.

With proper training and exercise, these beautiful canines can typically make their dwelling nearly anywhere.  They are quick to adapt and sure to love big on those considered dear.
