There are so many dog breeds all around the world nowadays. It seems that there is a kind of dog made for everyone! Here are some breeds that you can find.

Small dog breeds include the Bichon Frise, Chihuahua, English Toy Spaniel, Jack Russell Terrier, Maltese, Papillon, Pekingese, Pomeranian, Pug, Shih Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier and many more. It is important to know that this kind of breed is also referred as the toy dog breeds.

On the other hand, large dog breeds include the Alaskan Malamute, Bernese Mountain Dog, Bloodhound, Collie, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, Greyhound, Rottweiler, Saint Bernard, etc. Large dogs are usually over 25" high at the shoulder.

Finally here are the ten most popular dog breeds in the United States:
10. Miniature Schnauzers

8. Poodles
7. Boxers
6. Dachshunds
5. Beagles
4. German Sherpherd dogs
3. Yorkshire Terriers

You don't have to have own a large house to own a large dog (although a tiny apartment isn't going to be big enough for one of the giant breeds). If you can take him outside for a good hour of two of exercise every day... a large dog can live in a small house or apartment just fine.

Keep in mind that large dogs are more expensive to keep. They eat more food, which costs you more money. Tick and flea preventives cost more for large dogs, as do other mediations.
