These dogs have been around for centuries. Literally! The love story began in Tenerife, Spain, where they were much loved by the European aristocrats. Beware, they look super cute and are very playful, but leave them by themselves for more than a couple of hours, and the neighbors might come around due to them constantly barking if left by themselves. And being small, their bark is rather ear piercing! However, if you have children this could mean constant companionship, and therefore will be as silent as anything.
