About My Ten Pound Hound: Small Dogs, Big Love Who said small dogs can't bring a whole lot of joy? At My Ten Pound Hound, we celebrate the charm, sass, and quirks of small dog breeds. Whether you're here because you've got a pint-sized pooch running the show at home—or you're thinking of adopting one—you’re in the right spot. Oh, and did I mention we’ve got an online bakery whipping up fresh, tail-wagging treats just for the little four-legged royals in your life? Stick around, and let's talk about all things small dogs and delicious goodies. All About Small Dog Breeds Why do small dog breeds get all the love? It’s simple: they pack giant personalities into tiny frames. From their playful antics to their cuddle-worthy size, small dogs are more than just adorable—they're downright irresistible. Why Small Dogs Steal Hearts Here’s the thing: small dogs are the masters of versatility. Live in a cozy apartment? No problem. Have a busy schedule? Small dogs often need less exercise than their larger counterparts. Plus, they’re basically portable—just tuck them into a dog carrier, and off you go! Personally, my Chihuahua has perfected the art of side-eye when I hog the couch for more than 10 minutes. And don’t even get me started on their knack for squeezing into the tiniest spaces to nap. Ever find a dog snoozing in your laundry basket? It’s basically their way of saying, “I go where I please!” With boundless energy to keep you entertained and just enough sass to keep you humble, small dogs remind us that attitude definitely isn’t about size. Common Small Dog Breeds We Adore From fluffy to feisty, small dog breeds bring so much variety. Let’s talk about a few fan favorites: Chihuahuas: Tiny but fierce, these little ones are known for their bold personalities and love of warmth. If there’s a sunbeam on the floor, you’ll find them basking in it like royalty. Dachshunds: With their unique long bodies and adorable stubby legs, these “weiner dogs” love adventure and mischief—digging seems to be their calling. Pomeranians: Ever seen a fluff ball with a smile that lights up a room? That’s a Pom for you. They’re playful, loyal, and have the confidence of a dog ten times their size. Yorkshire Terriers: We’re talking glam. These tiny pups bring elegance with their silky coat and big dog attitude. They might be small, but they’ll protect their humans like pros. Of course, every small dog is special, whether they’re a purebred pup or a lovable mix. The Treats Your Pooch Deserves Here’s where My Ten Pound Hound adds a cherry on top of the small dog sundae: homemade, fresh-baked dog treats crafted with small dogs in mind. These aren’t your ordinary shelf-stable kibble-like snacks. Nope. Think of these as gourmet, tailor-made goodies for the most discerning pups. Freshly Baked, Just for Small Dogs I’ve always believed that our dogs deserve treats that look and smell like something we’d be happy to eat (okay, minus the seasoning). Our treats are baked fresh on demand, using wholesome ingredients that cater to those adorable tiny mouths. And don’t worry—I get it. Small dogs can be choosy. That’s why I focus on creating recipes with flavors they’ll love, textures they can manage, and ingredients that keep their little tummies happy. It’s kind of like baking for a toddler who has opinions about everything. (Seriously, one glare from my Chihuahua, and you’d think I offered him a bowl of brussels sprouts!) A Local Treats Delivery You’ll Love Here’s the fun part: if you're local, we deliver straight to your door—for free! Yup, free delivery within 10 miles. That means no extra trips to the store or worrying about running out of your pup’s favorite snacks. I personally make every delivery, so when you order from My Ten Pound Hound, it’s more than a transaction—it’s a small business bringing a little joy to your front porch. Picture a subscription box, but better, because you know exactly who baked those treats and who’s dropping them off. The Story Behind My Ten Pound Hound Like most good things, My Ten Pound Hound started with love—and maybe a little mischief. From Small Dog Lover to Baker If I’m being honest, my small dog probably owns me more than I own him. It all began with my tiny, 10-pound pup, whose stubborn streak is matched only by how much he means to me. Every wag, every bark, every faceplant into a fluffy blanket made me realize just how special small dogs are. Pretty soon, I started baking his treats at home. Why? Because nothing at the store felt quite right. Either the ingredients looked sketchy, or the sizes were too big for his dainty little teeth. Fast-forward a few test batches (okay, a lot of test batches), and I came up with recipes that earned his approval. And let me tell you, he’s not easy to impress. That’s when I thought, “Why not share this with other small dog lovers?” My Ten Pound Hound became a combination of my two biggest passions—baking and small dogs. Plus, it’s a way to connect with others who know that a 10-pound pup can take up a whole lot of heart space. Celebrate Small Dogs with Us Small dog lovers are my kind of people. You get it—the big personalities, the silly antics, and the way your dog somehow ends up dictating your day. That’s what My Ten Pound Hound is all about: celebrating the small dog breed lifestyle in every way, from stories on the blog to locally baked treats crafted just for them. Whether you’re here to read, shop, or just hang out, I hope you’ll stick around. Your pup deserves the best, and so do you. Let’s spoil our tiny companions, one treat at a time!
