🐾 Top 5 Most Popular Small Dog Breeds in 2025 (with Gear Picks Sam Approves)



Not every pup is built like Sam — our 155 pound Newfoundland and rising movie star. But small dogs have big hearts, big followings, and yes… big style needs. If you’re the proud parent of a pint-sized powerhouse, this one’s for you.



1. 

French Bulldog



Compact, muscular, and full of attitude. The Frenchie is America’s sweetheart. Great for apartment life — terrible at fetch.


✅ Gear Pick: Reflective Collar – Sam’s Safety Standard

Because even Frenchies deserve to be seen (and admired) at night.





2. 

Pomeranian



A cloud with legs. Poms are loyal, alert, and suspicious of literally everyone — but you love them anyway.


✅ Gear Pick: Cozy Pet Blanket – Washable + Travel-Ready

Designed for dogs that demand luxury even on the go.





3. 

Yorkshire Terrier



Don’t let the bows fool you — Yorkies are warriors. Born for adventure, raised for royalty.


✅ Gear Pick: Sam’s Dog Owner Checklist

Skip the chaos. This checklist keeps your Yorkie’s world organized and optimized.





4. 

Shih Tzu



The aristocrat of lapdogs. They expect treats on demand and will stare you down until they get them.


✅ Gear Pick: Kurgo Water Bottle – Stay Hydrated, Stay Boujee

Sam uses it. So should your Shih Tzu. Leakproof. Durable. Fancy.





5. 

Miniature Schnauzer



A beard, a bark, and a business plan. Schnauzers are sharp, snappy, and weirdly good at judging people.


✅ Gear Pick: Sam’s Picks Bundle – Collar, Keychain, Car Seat, Blanket

Curated by Sam. Approved by thousands. Built for daily protection and comfort.





🐶 Who’s Sam?



He’s not just a dog. He’s the face of Fluffytechlife.

📽️ Sam survived a 30-foot fall. He’s walked red carpets, starred in rescue reels, and gone viral flooding kibble bowls with joy.

Now he’s helping your small dog stay seen, safe, and stylish — one gear pick at a time.
