1. Small dog

No. 1 Teddy dog ​​(Poodle): Teddy dog ​​is small in size, not easy to shed hair, has a light body odor, is smart and easy to train, lively and friendly, easy to raise, is friendly to the living environment, and is very suitable for urban apartments or living spaces that are not large in large families.

Second place Bichon: Except for the fact that the Bichon is not as smart as the Teddy, the rest are not much different. It has a cute appearance, a gentle and friendly personality, and can live in harmony with people and other pets. He is highly dependent on his owner and is a good companion dog.

Third Pomeranian: small and sweet, lively and cheerful, highly vigilant and can watch the house, adapt to the urban environment quickly, but sheds hair, and has fragile bones, and needs double care.

2. The first place in the medium-sized dog

Border Collie: Border Collie is simple to raise, has a high IQ, is smart and enthusiastic, is easy to train, has a gentle personality, does not yell, has strong adaptability, and can perform appropriate exercise in the city.
