Companion Family

     Companion dogs were adapted and bred for a very special purpose  of being a companion. With the exception of the Dalmatian and the English Bulldog, their small size and stature lends them to be a house pet, and for ease in carrying, fitting into limited space. These are, in essence, a "miniaturization" of their ancestors. Let it be remembered that the size is no reflection of their importance and their function. Many of the licensed Therapy Dogs are from this Group. Many of these breeds are those which were used for entertainment, such as trick dogs in traveling circuses and carnivals.
