''A small, adorable dog runs down the halls of the castle. When it reaches your feet, it stands on its two hind legs and barks happily. It looks excited to see a new face.''


Toy breed dogs were bred for one of two reasons: to be lap dogs purely for enjoyment and fun, or mouse hunters for those who do not like cats. These statistics can be used for any dog that is between 3 and 19 pounds (such as teacup yorkies and miniature poodles).


==Combat==
Toy breed dogs almost never enter combat, unless it is against smaller pests and vermin.

'''Skills:''' Dogs get a +4 racial bonus to jump checks. Dogs get a +4 bonus to survival when tracking by scent.

'''Feats:''' Dogs have track as a bonus feat.


==As a Familiar==
Many children have pet dogs when they are little, and it is not rare for wizards and sorcerers to have their love of canines carry over to their later years (in fact, its very common). Some actually choose toy breed dogs as familiars. Wizards with toy breed dog familiars get a +3 bonus to Sense Motive checks.
