Japanese Terrier
Japanese Terriers are small enough to fit in your lap but wired like they’re twice the size, with an alertness that means they notice every sound, movement, and potential threat in a one-mile radius. Their cheerfulness is genuine but comes with a stubborn streak and the intelligence to figure out which rules they can ignore when you’re not looking. Short coat means minimal grooming and maximum shedding on your dark clothes.
