Pros and Cons of Keeping a Toy Breed
Small toy dogs provide many advantages over larger breeds. They can adjust to small or cramped environs and most need less exercise compared to bigger breeds.

The great thing about dogs is there is a dog out there for everyone and there are ways to fulfill the playtime your dog need without ever having to get up yourself if you are too tired or just aren’t in the mood.
