Haha no worries, Just asking cause we had same problem with our Bichon and we tried a new food called Wafcol which is good for sensitive dogs.
They have a website and you could also ask for sample saves you paying incase they don't like the food that

Being hypoallergenic means they aren't likely to cause allergies in people, so that last sentence doesn't make sense.

Are you talking about complete dog foods? As long as your dog has no allergies, pick a brand which has a named meat or fish source as the main ingredient. A lot of dogs, especially toy dogs, need a little garnish to keep them interested. Try moistening the kibble, and adding some wet food, eg. Butchers Tripe, Naturo tray food, or sardines in tomato sauce, to add a little interest.

Pepsi our JRT is also very fussy.I buy white fish fillets from Sainsburys, which are frozen. I break them up and microwave a bit at a time, as and when we need it.
It is just enough to get her interested (the smell I think) then she will eat her kibble after.
Good luck.

If you keep changing your dog's food this can also encourage them to be fussy. I would choose a good quality (check the ingredients) food and then put it down for 15 minutes and if your dog hasn't eaten it by then, pick it up again then re-offer it at the next meal time.
