Cavachons are bred down from the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and are mixed with a Bichon Frise. They’re small and spunky and love to have fun with their families, whether it means going for walks or hanging out in the living room.
Because of their small stature, they do well for those who live in houses or apartments.
The Yorkipoo
Yorkipoos are small dogs with big personalities. They are a cross between Yorkshire Terriers and Poodles and are known to have a lot of energy and passion for playtime. These guys can be pretty vocal, so keep that in mind as you’re searching for the perfect breed.
Yorkipoos, who are also sometimes called “Yoodles,” are fiercely loyal to their owners, and aren’t particularly fond of strangers. They can be stubborn, but they are very intelligent and easy to train once you’ve gotten past that. Yorkipoos are great for those that live in smaller environments.
Russian Toy
The Russian Toy is a small, lively dog. This breed loves to snuggle and be close to their human companions, although sometimes slightly aloof to strangers.
Some of them will dash through the house or yard chasing toys as long as you can keep up, while others are willing to do nothing more than lounge in your lap all day long, content in knowing that they are the prize jewel in your home. They thrive on human companionship and will let you know if they are feeling neglected.
The Chiweenie
Chiweenies, AKA Chiwees, are short, stubby little mixes of a Chihuahua and a Dachshund. They’re even sometimes referred to as “Mexican Hotdogs.” Chiweenies tend to be very playful, so they do need attention and exercise, but since they’re so small they also make great pets for seniors.
One thing to remember, though, is that these dogs tend to be a pretty vocal breed, so expect a lot of barking from your little pooch – it just goes to show how much they love you, and they want to alert you to any potential threats to keep you safe! Chiweenies are loyal and loving and enjoy spending most of their time by their people’s sides!
The Maltipoo
This doggo is a mix of a Poodle with a Maltese. Aside from Poodles being incredibly smart, they’ve also got a great coat of fur that is low maintenance and doesn’t shed. Malteses are also known for their coat, which has even been referred to as a “lion mane” for how long and luxurious it is.
When combined, you get this adorable, soft little ball of fluff. Maltipoos are known for being easy to train and get along with, and they can be great dogs for seniors. They’re also especially great for cuddles since they fit nicely on your lap!
