| toy dog perro de departamento Explanation: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia toy dog Any of several breeds of dogs that were bred to be small, portable, good-natured companions. Toy dogs were traditionally pampered and treasured by aristocracy around the world, and several breeds are ancient. They range from hairless (e.g., the Chinese crested dog) to profusely coated (e.g., the Shih tzu). Some breeds, such as the Pekingese, could be owned only by royalty. The Cavalier King Charles spaniel was a favourite of English royalty. English toy spaniels and toy poodles are popular in the U.S. The miniature pinscher resembles the Doberman pinscher but has a different ancestry. Other toy dogs include the affenpinscher, Maltese, papillon, Pomeranian, and Yorkshire terrier. parece que hay varias razas que entran en la categoría de "toy dog" podría ser perro de departamento o algo por el estilo -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2007-09-06 00:38:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Toy Dog: Noun 1. any of several breeds of very small dogs kept purely as pets (synonym) toy (hypernym) dog, domestic dog, Canis familiaris (hyponym) Chihuahua -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2007-09-06 00:40:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- according to wikipedia: Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia Toy dog A toy dog is a very small dog kept as a pet, as compared to a very small working dog, although both pet and working dogs can be very small. When an all-breed association or kennel club divides dog breeds into groups for purposes of competition, the Toy Group contains most of the smallest dog breeds in the club's registry. There has been much discussion as to whether the designation signifies only a dog's size (weight, height, or both), or also refers to how a breed is used or its temperament. This has sometimes led to misunderstanding or bad feeling in the world of purebred dogs; there seems to be no consensus. I hope it helps! Letty |
