Small dogs who are affectionate

Nothing can improve your mood after a tough day like coming home to a pint-sized companion who always greets you like she hasn't seen you in weeks! The licking, the jumping, the wagging tail, her body language could not be more clear, she's happy to see you. You are the center of her universe, the giver of attention, love and food.

A puppy raised with love and patience will grow to be a loving and patient dog. Of course personality and successful socialization also play a role in how affectionate your small dog will be as she matures.
