COMPANION DOGS

Over the centuries Man has bred some of the smaller breeds of dogs to become companion or house dogs. The origins of many of these dogs can be traced back to working breeds but have been bred and adapted to either become "hot water bottles" to keep their humans warm before central heating was invented, or for companionship and affection as a pet.

One particular characteristic of companion dogs are their large eyes, which mimic those of babies and children, giving an impression of cuteness and vulnerability. These dogs are far from vulnerable and have big personalities even though they may be small in stature! The highest reward for these dogs is attention and company.
