Indoor decorative dogs (decorative dogs, companion dogs) - a collective definition of dog breeds that are not intended for performing any special work, and are used mainly as pets.
Most dogs of small breeds are indoor decorative dogs.
All existing systems of classification of dog breeds separate indoor decorative breeds from breeds designed to perform certain work.
The classifications of the English Kennel Club, the American Kennel Club and cynological organizations of other English speaking countries contain a group of "that breed" (from the English toy toy), in the classification of the ICF there is a group IX "Toy and companions".
However, the list of breeds that can be classified as decorative is not limited to the corresponding group.
This is due to the fact that some breeds were originally bred for work, but later lost their working purpose and turned into decorative dogs, whose main task is to give pleasure to their owners.
So, there are decorative breeds among terriers (Yorkshire Terrier, Australian silky Terrier), pinscher (dwarf pinscher, affenpinscher), in the group of so called primitive breeds (Pomeranian), etc.

Decorative dogs have lived with humans since ancient times, along with hunting, guard and shepherd dogs.
Small dogs served as entertainment for their owners, symbolized prosperity and high social status.
High ranking and famous people from the most ancient times are often depicted in portraits in the company of a dog.
Such dogs were called "knee" (English laptop dog).
It is also claimed that wealthy people kept such dogs so that they would distract the fleas that inhabited the owner in abundance.
The oldest decorative breeds include, in particular, the Pekingese.
Other decorative breeds appeared in the process of directed reduction of the size of some working breeds, primarily hunting and guard breeds.
Small varieties of hunting breeds were intended for the work of a specific type (catching rats, working in burrows for small animals).
Reducing the size of guard dogs was aimed at the convenience of keeping in the house.

The selection of indoor decorative dog breeds was aimed at fixing any special external signs that are attractive to owners.
So, Pekingese were valued for their lion like appearance, and pugs - for cute wrinkles and a monkey face.
The appearance of decorative dogs is often exaggerated, mutant and dwarf forms are fixed.
The specifics of using decorative dogs also presupposes selection by character and temperament - the behavior of a lap dog should be pleasant and funny.
A decorative dog should not be aggressive, hunting instincts should be suppressed so that the dog does not run away from the owner.
Dogs should be attached to the owner, actively express emotions and be highly social both in relation to humans and in relation to other dogs.[1]
If a decorative dog is aggressive, hysterical, unable to get along with other family members, we can talk about improper selection aimed solely at fixing exterior features to the detriment of behavioral ones.
At the same time, there are no special requirements for traditional working qualities: sense of smell, endurance and unpretentiousness are not necessary qualities of indoor decorative dogs.
