Top 10 Toy Dog Breeds For 2007

Everywhere I look it seems that I see someone with one of those Paris Hilton toy dogs. It's not just celebrities carrying around these cute little dogs but even our neighbors are accessorizing their look with toy dogs. Can they really be that popular? You betcha, the American Kennel Club recognizes 21 breeds in their toy group and the top 36 ranked breeds for 2007 contains 10 toy breeds. That double what their fair share should be considering the size of the toy group is only 21 breeds. Based on that list which 10 breeds ranked the highest in 2007?

1. Yorkshire Terriers 
2. Poodles 
3. Shih Tzu 
4. Chihuahuas
5. Pomeranians
6. Pugs
7. Maltese
8. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
9. Miniature Pinschers
10. Papillons


If you want to join the ranks of the fashionable dog carrying crowd this is the list you want. If you're someone that wants a rarer breed then you're better off looking at Otterhounds which came in at 154 on the AKC's list. If you were tired of all the yapping there doesn't appear to be any relief in sight because the toy dog group seems to be growing in popularity.
