The French Bulldog, which recently shot to the top of the list for most popular dogs, is an adaptable breed with an even disposition. They don’t require a ton of outdoor exercise, get along well with other animals, and love people of all ages.
This tiny, sassy dog has personality plus! With expressive eyes and a big-dog attitude, this little breed makes a wonderful companion and loves sitting on laps. Chihuahuas adapt well to city living, and their coats, which can be short or long, don’t shed much or require constant grooming.
This low-to-the-ground dog is a friendly and vivacious breed that’s extremely lovey-dovey with their people. Dachshunds come in standard and miniature sizes in three different coat types (smooth, wire-haired, or long-haired). They don’t shed a ton and don’t need a lot of exercise, as you’d imagine, with their short legs.
This sweet, sensitive breed makes a devoted companion. Italian Greyhounds adore being in your lap, but, as sighthounds, they do love to run, so you should make sure to train them appropriately and keep them leashed when outdoors in case they spot something fun to chase! Their coats need very little grooming.
Pugs are meant for love! This muscular little breed is happy and curious and has a very expressive face. They are adaptable to big or small families, as an only pet, or part of a pack. But because of their mischievous little pushed-in faces, they do best in more temperate (not hot) climates.
Watch out! Here comes the Pomeranian! This bold little dog is a true sweetheart and is very loving. The breed is easily trained and good with older kids. Poms are active but can get sufficient exercise on short walks and indoor play.
The Shetland Sheepdog is known for its willingness to please. Shelties are lovey-dovey, super-smart, and great with kids and other dogs. The coat needs a moderate amount of grooming, and they do require a lot of exercise. But they are sensitive and affectionate dogs who love their entire family.
