This phenomenon was first discussed back in the 18th century. Every self-respecting society lady was obliged to appear in public with a four-legged friend. In our time, the trend has not faded into oblivion, but has gained momentum.
Let's take a closer look at fashionable breeds. The leader in sales among small dogs is the Spitz. Several breeds are distinguished: Pomeranian, Japanese, German and Finnish. They differ from each other in height at the withers and color. The dog has a light and cheerful character, is unpretentious in feeding, and playful, so it is not surprising that many world celebrities have decided to buy a white Spitz. The only thing to pay attention to is the coat. It will require careful grooming (brushing and washing). But it is better to consult a specialist about this.
Second place goes to the Chinese Crested. Gentle companions, devoted to the family, get along with all other pets, and are not hostile to strangers. These four-legged dogs cannot stand loneliness, so business and busy women should not get them. They do not require special care.
Pugs are affectionate, loving and playful dogs. At the same time, they are very lazy, so you need to play active games with them and walk them. Dog breeders claim that they are brave and loyal, smart and independent pets. There is, however, a small drawback that many find amusing – they snore. They do not require special care. Pugs are owned by George Clooney, Jessica Alba and Tori Spelling.
The most fashionable dog is the Yorkshire Terrier. They are distinguished by loyalty and unpretentiousness. "A small dog is a puppy until death" – that's about them. The coat requires constant care, washing and brushing. Such four-legged dogs are friends of Paris Hilton and Natalie Portman.
The next fashionable breed is the Chihuahua. It is characterized by a difficult temperament: willfulness and stubbornness. But it is brave – if the owner is threatened by something, it will definitely rush to defend, despite its small size. Cheerful, loves to be the center of attention. Not difficult to care for, just need to protect them from jumping from high places. Stars who have this cute animal at home are Pamela Anderson, Denise Richards.
Pekingese are miniature lions, as they are sometimes called. They differ from other breeds by their endearingly flattened muzzle and drooping ears. Their character includes loyalty, independence, calmness – all the traits of a real lion. They do not like small children very much. Special care for the coat, in principle, as for all long-haired breeds.
Maltese is a dog of amazing natural delicacy and intelligence. It lives longer than all other toy dog breeds. Care for the long coat is not difficult. Owners of this breed include Victoria Beckham, Patricia Kaas.
We can say about them that they are four-legged friends, and also that they are a fashionable trend of the century. But whether you want to get a friend or an accessory – only the lady can decide.
