The Toy Group is comprised of the very small breeds hence the word toy. They usually are less than ten pounds in weight. They have been household pets for centuries. Many are carried on the arms of their owners and have been variously referred to as Sleeve Dogs, Spaniel Gentle, or Comforter.

Many are miniatures of the other breeds and although Toys look frail and fragile they are fairly hardy. They do have the advantage of requiring little exercise, space or food and therefore make excellent pets for apartment dwellers particularly.
