Also, not only health, but **temperament** and **adult size** are **easier to predict** for a puppy as well. Small breeds generally live longer than larger ones — typically reaching 16+ years compared to 10-13 years for medium/large breeds.\\ 
 +Key to longevity across all breeds: high-quality diet, regular exercise, healthy weight, routine veterinary care including wellness exams, vaccines, parasite prevention, and dental cleanings.

 +Current candidates: 
 + 
 +  * **Papillon**  — highly trainable, excellent working memory, hardy and intelligent with no specific health concerns mentioned 
 +  * **Jack Russell Terrier**  — smart and quick learners, but can be stubborn, generally healthy but retain high energy from their working heritage, requiring plenty of exercise and mental stimulation 
 +  * **Miniature Pinscher**  — intelligent but independent-minded, active and playful, though they're not always tolerant of boisterous children 
 +  * **Pomeranian**  — smart but often more willful and less eager to please, can be prone to heart disease, collapsing trachea, luxating patellas (loose kneecaps), and dental disease 
 +All four are small breeds, and small dogs generally live longer than larger ones—typically reaching 16+ years compared to 10-13 years for medium/large breeds.
