What is the best all round small dog breed?
A hybrid dog has less health problems due to hybrid vigor. So I would suggest getting a small hybrid/mix, such as a yorkie/maltese, bichon/yorkie, bichon/toy poodle, shih tzu/bichon etc. There are A LOT. Try not to go for dogs that are less than four pounds (ie teacup puppies) because they are much too small and they also have a lot of health problems. Also, they are WAY expensive even though it should be the other way around since they are so unhealthy and fragile. There is no best dog breed, it depends on your lifestyle. Also, each hybrid looks different because it depends on if they get most of their genes from Mom or Dad.
