Introduction to the ranking of the world’s smallest dog breeds:

Yorkshire: Yorkshire has a history of less than a hundred years, but its exact origin cannot be verified. The Yorkshire Terrier is named after being produced in Yorkshire in northeastern England, so it is also called Yorkshire Terrier, Joseph Dog, and Joseph Terrier.

Dachshund: Its name originates from Germany and its original meaning is "badger dog". It is a short-legged, long-bodied Dachshund. This dog was developed to sniff wax, track, and hunt badgers and other burrowing animals.

Fawn dog: a small dog that looks like a deer, native to Germany. He is smart, cheerful, has a lively temperament, and has strong self-esteem. Its style can be seen in many famous modern paintings, and it has been popularized in European and American countries.

Pug: Officially named "Pug" at the end of the 18th century, the word means ghost, lion nose or little monkey in ancient language. Some experts believe that this dog was born in the Scottish lowlands, spread to Asia, and was brought back to the West by Dutch traders from the Far East. Others believe that this dog is an oriental breed, derived from the short-haired breed of Pekingese, and is actually a Northeastern dog. Its ancestral home is Northeast my country, and the Manchu people call it the lapdog.

PS: Some friends may think that the smallest dog should be a teacup dog. In fact, teacup dogs are bred through these breeds, so they are not included!
