There are more than 100 breeds of small dogs which are very popular in America. American people like to keep small dogs so that they can carry them along where ever they go. Depending upon the popularity the most popular one among all these are the below discussed. There are many other popular one’s but you said that my answer should be to the point so I am just discussing two of them.
The beagle is joyful, friendly, gentle and playful, and makes a wonderful family pet. He is an affectionate yet calm dog who loves everyone, and is excellent with children and with others dogs. He needs to be raised as a puppy with non-dog pets in order to get along with them. He loves company, and although at first reserved with strangers will quickly warm up to them. This makes him only a moderately good watchdog, since he will bark for a stranger at the door, but then quickly make friends! He loves the outdoors, but shouldn't be left alone in a fenced yard. He can bark and howl when lonely. It's better to keep him inside when you're away from home. He loves to roam and to sniff. He doesn't have a doggy odor like some breeds and he doesn't drool. For walks, he should be kept on a leash to avoid his sniffing and running off to hunt after interesting smells. Because of his energy and stamina he makes a great walking, jogging, and hiking companion. He can be single-minded about his sniffing, and a bit stubborn, and therefore is difficult to train. He can also be hard to housebreak, a little slow to catch on at first. He loves to sniff out food, so it's best not leave food sitting unattended on a countertop. He can live in the city or in the country, and in an apartment without a yard if walked daily. He is a medium shedder so he will leave quite a bit of hair around your home.
The Miniature Poodle is a lively, sensitive, playful, loyal, energetic, happy and loving dog who becomes attached not just to one person but to the entire family. He is a wonderful family companion who doesn't like to be left alone for hours. He is very human-oriented, and will turn mischievous and destructive if he is ignored or neglected. He's an extremely easy dog to train, and loves to learn tricks and games or participate in dog sports like agility or obedience. He is eager to please you and quick to learn. He has a remarkable way of seeming to understand your words and expressions and exactly what you want. He is playful and fun-loving, and likes to play fetch and chase balls. He's a very high energy dog with lots of stamina, and he needs a great deal of exercise. He can walk with you for miles, or run madly around the house or yard. He needs a daily walk as well as outdoor play. Without enough exercise, he can become high-strung or nervous. But if you play and work with him, he is able to settle and snuggle contentedly with you on the sofa. He has wonderful swimming abilities and loves to play and splash in water! He can occasionally be demanding or jealous, and is an instinctively protective dog. He makes an outstanding watchdog, as he will bark energetically at the approach of a stranger. He can sometimes bark too much. He is shy with visitors and new people, but generally gets along well with other animals and pets. A caring and generally calm and good-tempered friend, he can be patient and playful with children, but should be supervised with very young children, as he can become nervous and nippy around them. He virtually doesn't shed, and so would be a good pet if you like your home clean and free of hair.
