Top 10 Cutest Dog Breeds
#1 Pomeranian
The Pomeranian originates from the Pomeranian region in Northern Poland, and it is also called “the Pom Pom”. This dog breed is small (3.5 kilograms at most), which makes it perfect for people who like to carry their best friend with them all the time. “The Pom Pom” is very popular in the U.S. (we all know the Facebook sensation Boo, who’s a Pomeranian; he’s so cute because his owner grooms him every month at the salon), he doesn’t grow too big, and it’s perfect for those living in tiny flats. The Pomeranian is also extremely easy to train and super smart.
Pomeranian is also extremely easy to train and super smart. But there is no doubt that this breed needs special care, and the key to keeping them healthy is through a suitable pomeranian food diet. For example, their little mouths can only open so wide, therefore the kibble size you feed your little Pom needs to be smaller.
#2 Brussels Griffon
The Brussels Griffon is a small and affectionate dog breed originally from Brussels, Belgium. It has a powerful disposition for learning new tricks and he can easily be trained to entertain and protect – although with his cute bearded figure this dog will have a hard time convincing people that he’s up to serious business. Featuring a unique look with a matching personality, the Brussels Griffon will make your heart melt.
#3 Shih Tzu
Shih Tzu is the classic Chinese “toy dog”, whose name actually means “ the lion dog”. Now that’s ironic! Far from being as fierce as a lion, a Shih Tzu looks more like a fur ball. The breed’s majestic look is not easy to maintain as he needs periodic grooming; but let’s face it. Grooming this miniature lion will make him love you even more. The Shih Tzu has an alert, outgoing, and loyal personality, and with proper training he can become the most obedient pet.
#4 Cane Corso
Originally from Italy, the Cane Corso is better known as the Italian Mastiff, and it is a type of dog breed that can easily get to 130 pounds. Well-muscled and extremely athletic, the Cane Corso is not the type of dog you can raise in a small apartment. He needs lots of space and exercise every single day. The breed is one of the smartest in the world, so you need to train him from a very early age to get him accustomed to kids and other domestic animals.
#5 Bichon Frise
The name of the Bichon Frise means “curly lap dog” and the breed originated in the 13th century, in Spain, when sailors began transporting it from continent to continent. In the 16th century, the Bichon Frise finally became a favorite type of dog for the French royal courts. The breed has a very distinct and refined appearance, yet his personality is anything but haughty. Very playful and cuddly, it is a trustworthy, fun partner to have around the house.
#6 Boston Terrier
The Boston Terrier is an extremely expressive dog breed originally from the United States. It is compactly built with short tail and well proportioned, erect ears. The breed is gentle, friendly and generally happy, as long as the owner offers him enough affection. Extremely protective, the Boston Terrier may develop an aggressive behavior if he is not provided with the right training. Originally bred for hunting rats in factories, this adorable breed is gentle, creative, and well-mannered.
#7 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel originated in the United Kingdom, and it is better known as the “Cav” or the “Cavie”. It is a popular dog breed classified as a toy dog by the Kennel Club, and it’s certainly the kind of dog you want to have in your life. Patient and loyal, he certainly knows how to make an appearance thanks to those beautiful, big eyes and sweet little muzzle. Excellent with kids, the Cavie has a smooth, silky coat that needs monthly grooming, and he’s generally extremely affectionate with other animals too.
#8 Papillon
Originally from France, the Papillon (fr. “The butterfly”) is not just adorable, but also extremely intelligent and self-assured. Sociable with both kids and strangers, this dog breed gets along quite well with other pets. It’s important for the owner to train their Papillon from an early age, otherwise he may develop an aggressive tendency towards other people and dogs. Unlike other breeds, you may like to know that Papillons have a very long life expectancy (up to 17 years) and judging by their adorable features, they will surely fill your life with joy and happiness.
#9 Yorkshire Terrier
The Yorkshire Terrier originates from the city of Yorkshire, in England. Better known as the “Yorkie”, it is so small that it can easily fit in a mug. What we love most about the Yorkie is its active, curious and overprotective personality. Emotionally secure and mentally sound, this dog breed is the perfect pet in a family full of kids. Yorkshire Terriers are easy to train and they can adapt easily to all sorts of conditions, including travel. Although they’re really tiny, you still have to take them out for daily exercise to keep them healthy and happy.
#10 Chow Chow
Originally from Northern China, the Chow Chow is famous for his blue tongue and dense double coat. The dog breed is hands down one of the most beautiful in the world but it is also one of the most difficult to raise. Chow Chows are not excessively active, and they need weekly grooming and periodic health check-ups. The breed demands a lot of attention, and although they fit perfectly in a medium-sized apartment, they still require daily exercise.
