Lovingly referred to as the "Yorkie," the Yorkshire terrier is the ultimate cutie in small breeds.

Yorkies have been a "fashionable" pet since the late Victorian era.

Another breed that makes an excellent companion, the papillon is a loyal and loving friend. Great with kids and families, this pint-size pup makes an excellent watchdog. Calm but alert, it is extremely protective of its master. A papillon's most distinctive feature is its large butterfly ears.

What they lack in appearance they make up for with their ability to perform a variety of tricks. Not great with kids, it'll make a single owner a very happy one.

You might have to be your dog's watchdogWhy are dog thieves poaching specific breeds of pups off the front porch, the backyard, or in a parked car? It's a matter of popularity and portability. "The most stolen breeds tend to correspond with the most popular breeds in the country at the time. Thieves also steal easily to carry dogs, which is why there are a lot of toy breeds on the list, says Brandi Hunter, vice president of American Kennel Club (AKC). Dogs are even stolen from pet stores and animal shelters, Hunter says. Based on media reports compiled by the AKC, there were 496 dogs stolen in 2019; thankfully, that's down 8 percent from 2018. And purebreds aren't the only ones taken by thieves. "Pitbull and Pitbull mixes are also one of the most stolen mixed breeds," Hunter says. According to the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), pit bulls are sometimes stolen to be used as "bait dogs" to train fighting dogs. By the way, you might be surprised at pitbull "facts" that are totally wrong.
Siberian huskyWith its gorgeous good looks and stunning eyes, it's no wonder the Siberian husky is the number ten dog breed on the list of pups that get stolen the most. They're highly athletic, energetic, and friendly. Yes, friendly—despite their wolf-like appearance, they're demeanor is hardly threatening. In fact, Siberian Huskies are remarkably friendly with strangers and they typically don't make good guard dogs, which could make it easier for someone to nab them.
