Toys я Dogs
Dogs that have been bred to be very small are called Toys. Some have been bred small to do a particular job, and some have been bred to make good house pets. Toy Lhasa Apso was bred to be watch dogs in Tibet. They were small enough not to harm people and had a very loud bark to alert the Buddhist priest that a stranger was on or near the property. The priest could then decide on releasing their Mastiff Dogs. The Mastiffs’ were aggressive and big enough to do serious damage. This is an example of a Toy dog being downsized by breeding to perform a job.
The Toy version of the King Charles Spaniel was bred to be a much smaller form from a Spanish Spaniel. King Charles Spaniel was bred to be an affectionate lapdog. This breed is known for companionship. This is an example of a dog being bred for form as opposed to function.
The advantage of Toy dogs is that they fit into city life well. This breed is ideal for people who have limited living space. This group also has a range of personalities to fit owners’ idiosyncrasies.
There are twenty-one breeds of Toy dogs.
