The American Kennel Club said Toy dog breeds are affectionate, sociable and adaptable to a wide range of lifestyles.

While they are all cute little beings, and some may find comfort in cuddling up to you, some are simply not lap dogs.

Popular with city dwellers because the small pooches don’t take up too much space at home, some still have a lot of energy they need to burn off with long walks.

Either way, these gorgeous pooches can be seen all over the world, living everywhere from small apartments to mansions with acres and acres of land. 

Which cute pooch below has stolen your heart? Or could you say that you feel they are all the sweetest beings around?
