Their head is proportionally small compared to their body, with a skull that is generally round or apple-shaped. Their eyes are large and expressive, their muzzle is short, and their ears are often upright and erect. Toy dogs can have a wide variety of coat types, ranging from short to long, and a wide variety of colors and textures. Some have smooth coats, while others may have curly, wavy, or silky coats.
Toy dogs are known for their cheerful, affectionate, and energetic nature. They can be very attached to their owner and seek their company. Due to their small size, they are well-suited to apartment living. The temperament and specific characteristics can vary from one Toy breed to another.
