Dog - Russian Toy - Long Hair Black and Tan Mug

The Russkiy Toy (Or Russian Toy) is often mistaken for the chihuahua, but these tiny friends were bred from English Toy breeds for Russian royalty. It comes in two coat varieties, the smooth coat and the long-haired coat, and used to be considered two different breeds until they were brought together in 1988 for inclusion into international kennel clubs. Before the 1990s barely anyone outside of Russia even knew about the Russiky Toy! As pets they are friendly and cheerful. It is one of the smallest breeds in the world, weighing between 1 and 3 kg full grown. They are tiny little watchdogs who are loyal to their owners and easily carried in their arms.
