toy breed
Pocket-sized canine variety
A toy breed is a category of dog bred to be very small, typically under ten pounds.
These breeds—Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkshire terriers, and others—were developed primarily as companions rather than working dogs.
The term distinguishes them from small, miniature, and standard breeds in dog classification systems.
