Which breed is NOT typically found among toy dogs?

  1. Poodle

  2. Chihuahua

  3. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

  4. Rottweiler

The correct answer is: Rottweiler

The choice of Rottweiler as the breed that is not typically found among toy dogs is accurate because Rottweilers are categorized as large, powerful working dogs known for their strength and protective instincts. In contrast, toy dog breeds are generally small, often weighing under 10 to 15 pounds. Toy breeds have been specifically bred for companionship and are characterized by their small size, friendly nature, and often playful demeanor. Rottweilers do not fit this profile, as they were originally bred for herding and guarding, making them quite different in purpose and physical characteristics from toy breeds. The other breeds listed—Poodles, Chihuahuas, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels—are recognized toy breeds, known for their smaller stature and suitability as indoor companions.
