6 Small Dog Breeds for Beginners
Bringing a dog into your home means a lot of responsibility, work, and of course, plenty of cuddles and fun. As a newcomer, you might not want to get the most demanding furry friend right away. We present to you 6 small dog breeds that are wonderfully suitable for beginners:
Maltese
Seniors, couples, singles, or families - the →Maltese is the optimal small dog breed when it comes to beginners in dog training. Its friendly and →loving nature wraps everyone around its little finger. It is loyal, cuddly and just wants to be part of the family. It doesn't matter to it whether it's an apartment or a house - where the family is, the Maltese is happy.
Poodle
The →Poodle is a versatile and lovely four-legged friend. As a breed that sheds little, it is also quite easy to care for, although a visit to the groomer should be planned from time to time. This small →dog breed is not only popular with beginners, but also with experienced owners.
By the way! Small dog breeds and toy breeds have very special requirements when it comes to food: A small jaw that really enjoys chewing on small food pieces. We address these special needs in our Mini-Line. Not tasty? Doesn’t exist!

Papillon
Sweet long fur on the ears and an equally sweet character - the →Papillon is also among the easier small dog breeds. Its social and loving nature makes it easy for beginners to train. Despite its small size, it should not be spoiled as a lap dog.
Havanese
The →Havanese possesses all the qualities that a beginner dog should have. With its →relaxed nature, it fits in wonderfully with both seniors and families. It readily forgives its owners for mistakes in training and dog care.
Maltipoo
With its cute teddy look, the →Maltipoo has become increasingly well-known and popular in recent years. The modern →Doodle breed scores not only in terms of cuteness but is also very friendly and suitable for beginners with dog knowledge. However, this curly four-legged friend also has a confident and brave side that should definitely not be underestimated.
To keep the curly coat of the Maltipoo nice and soft and fluffy, it needs regular →coat care. Routine brushing is just as important as a regular visit to the dog groomer.

Pomeranian
Small and fluffy - the →Pomeranian is sweet in every way. However, one should not reduce this little furball to its appearance. While this small dog breed is also suitable for beginners, it is very clever and strong-willed. Consistency from the start is very important here. Those who possess a good understanding of dogs and ambition will certainly not fail in training the Pomeranian.
→Small dog breeds like the Pomeranian are cute and often brought home faster than larger four-legged friends. Therefore, it is even more important to always pay attention to a reputable breeder or association when buying a dog to avoid unknowingly supporting puppy trading.
