The Toy Group
There's quite a range of personality in the Toy Group: gentle lap dogs, feisty terriers and expressive divas are all in this category. Overall, the popularity of toy breeds was a cyclical function of fashion throughout history, but that changed in our modern age, as people became more mobile and many chose the smaller quarters common to city life. Most of the dogs in this group are small enough to comfortably fit into an airline carry-on, making them the perfect companion for those with lots of frequent flier miles.
There are wonderful ratters in this group, but there are also dogs who make fine companions to the family's other small pets and will never view the family sugar glider as prey. Coat types do vary tremendously amongst the toy breeds, so research is important. Chihuahuas need minimal grooming while a Maltese will require regular attention to keep its coat (and temperament) at its best. These differences make very few generalizations possible, but the Toy Group are universally reported to be easy to train and a delight to own.
