I am not the kind of person who likes small dogs. I tend to prefer very large dogs actually. My last dog was a Black Lab and Chow Mix which gives you an idea of how large I’m talking. However, there are three types of small dogs that I actually think are cute without being annoying.

My favorite three types of small dogs are:

1. Italian GreyHound. I don’t know what it is about greyhounds but I love all of them. Perhaps it’s because my heartstrings were tugged at as a kid when I learned about some of the horrors that racing greyhounds go through. I’ve wanted to rescue them ever since and it makes me like even the small Italian Greyhound breed.
2. Miniature Schnauzer. Even as puppies these dogs look a lot like old men. I’m not quite sure what I find appealing about that but I think it’s adorable!
3. Pembroke Welsh Corgi. This dog is so goofy looking that it’s totally lovable. It looks like a really fat fox with short little legs and every time I see one I just want to scoop it up and hug it!

Those are the small breeds that I actually like. The list of the ones I don’t like is a lot longer!
