Top 10 Cutest Dog Breeds

Top 10 Cutest Dog Breeds in the World! This list compiles 10 of the cutest dog breeds in the world, as determined by their appearance, their mannerisms, and the general public’s love of these creatures. All dogs are adorable, but some are just cuter than others!

1) The Affenpinscher

Only slightly bigger than a hamster, Affenpinschers are one of many terrier breeds. These small pups have expressive eyebrows and resemble monkeys. Their name literally translates to monkey dog in German. Affenpinschers were originally bred to hunt vermin like rats, but today they are known as affectionate family pets who love children and attention. Due to their low grooming needs, it is easy to make them look stylish without much effort! Affenpinschers are very intelligent so training is not difficult for them; however, you must be firm with your training and consistent about what you expect from your dog. Don’t coddle or spoil your dog, because they will take advantage of it!

2) The Brussels Griffon

Affectionately known as Griff, these little dogs are extremely loyal and playful. The Griffen also loves to be around people and is typically very gentle, making them a great companion for children. If you’re looking for a fun-loving dog that won’t tire you out or make you feel too guilty about not having enough time to play, consider a Griff. These little guys would love nothing more than running around outside with their new family! Just keep in mind that they do have lots of energy, so if you’re looking for a laid-back pooch, look elsewhere. But if you want an adorable dog who will always have your back, then it might just be worth bringing home a Griff. Just remember: always put safety first! As long as your kids know how to treat animals well and respect boundaries (don't try to pick up or hug your pet unless he/she asks), then you'll all get along famously together.

3) The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

This breed is ranked number one on Vetstreet’s list of The 30 Most Popular Dogs in America. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel affectionately called a Cav for short, is similar to a miniature Pembroke Welsh Corgi. This breed is known to be intelligent and playful and has been used as a therapy dog because of its friendly disposition. Cavaliers are energetic when they’re young but mellow out as they age. The most notable physical characteristic of Cavaliers is their luxurious, smooth coat which comes in shades of red or wheaten (which can either be long or short). These sweet pups make excellent additions to any family!

4) The Chinese Crested

This breed has a very interesting hair texture, which gives it that cute hairless look. The hair is often described as looking like cotton candy and is extremely soft to touch. Additionally, many owners claim that their Crested hardly sheds or has any dander at all. This is a perfect choice for those who suffer from dog allergies, but still want a furry friend in their life. These dogs are also known for having very strong personalities, so they would make an excellent match for anyone wanting a dog to keep them on their toes! The Chinese Crested doesn’t take orders from just anyone and will stand up against an overly aggressive owner without fear of repercussion. They can be trained with ease, but don’t expect them to listen every time you tell them something. They are highly intelligent dogs and do not respond well to harsh treatment. The Chinese Crested comes in two varieties: Hairless (which looks exactly how you think) and Powderpuff (which has a bit more fur). Either way, these little guys will steal your heart with their adorable looks alone.

5) The Chihuahua

These little dogs, who originated in Mexico and are named after their state of origin, have since become some of America’s favorite pets. Although they’re just four to six inches tall (even when standing on all fours), they pack a whole lot of personality into that small frame. The Chihuahua is known for its loyalty to its owner and other canines, as well as its spirited energy. Not only are they loved by children due to their cuteness factor, but they also live an average of 16 years! This means you get plenty of time with your fuzzy friend before saying goodbye. They’re also very social and enjoy being around people. They will follow you around everywhere, which makes them ideal companions for those living alone or without other pets. There’s nothing better than having a warm body snuggle up next to yours at night while you sleep! Even though these tiny pups may be easily injured, they don’t know any better and will still run around like crazy even if it gets them hurt. For example, they often chase balls that are too big for them because it’s so much fun! A Chihuahua would make a great addition to any family—or single person—looking for a pet who has lots of love to give. It's important to remember, however, that Chihuahuas aren't recommended for families with young kids. They're sensitive and fragile enough that any harsh treatment could cause lasting emotional damage...and possibly physical injury as well.

6) The Cocker Spaniel

The cocker spaniel is a great dog for people who want a family dog that’s small and hypoallergenic. They are energetic, friendly, and easy to train. But, they need to be groomed daily or their coat will look scruffy. They also love to swim so make sure you give them an opportunity to frolic in some water once in a while! These dogs can live anywhere from 12-15 years and are perfect for most households with children (under supervision). They are smart and loyal but can get bored easily if left alone too often. If you’re looking for a good lap dog that doesn’t shed, then consider adopting one of these cuties! You won’t regret it!

7) The Dachshund

With their long, low bodies and short legs, Dachshunds look like they’re always smiling. They have a fun-loving personality that puts everyone in a good mood. They also love to cuddle with you and play fetch as much as possible. If you’re looking for a cuddly dog who will follow you around everywhere, look no further than a Dachshund! There are several different coat colors available in this breed, so you can choose one that matches your home decor. However, it is important to note that there are several health problems associated with Dachshunds. In fact, one of them has been known to cause eye problems if not treated early on. Because of these issues, it is important to find a reputable breeder when adopting a puppy from a shelter or rescue group—and make sure your new family member gets all his vaccinations on time! A quick search online should reveal plenty of local breeders or rescue groups who could use your help (and support). You may even want to consider fostering an older dog until he finds his forever home—it's rewarding work and makes for great stories!

8) The Dandie Dinmont Terrier

Also called Weasely or Scotty, these shaggy dogs often weigh less than 25 pounds, making them one of our favorite cute dog breeds. They’re known for their brown coats and friendly demeanor. Not only that, but they also look just like foxes! Don’t be fooled though—the Dandie Dinmont Terrier is tough as nails and will protect you from any type of predator. If you don’t believe us, check out all their barkin’ skills in 101 Dalmatians (or should we say dalmatian?). The nickname Weasely comes from an old Scottish word meaning sly or wily. These little guys are as smart as they are cute. In fact, when properly trained, some can even act as service animals.

In 2011, pet expert Stanley Coren ranked Dandies as number three on his list of smartest dog breeds. A total of 200 terriers were tested with standard obedience tests including recall (dogs had to come when called), sending away (dogs had to stay while their owners left), scent discrimination test (dogs had to identify scents), barrier jumping test (dog jumped over an obstacle) and climbing stairs test (dog climbed upstairs). While terriers are generally regarded as intelligent dogs, the Dandie Dinmont stood out among its peers by ranking in second place behind only border collies on overall intelligence.

9) The Japanese Chin

If you’re looking for a small dog that can fit into your home and heart, look no further than a Japanese Chin. These dogs are tiny, but they have huge personalities. They’re bred to be companions, which means they like to be right in the middle of family activities – whether that means lounging on their owners’ lap or going for walks in their neighborhood. Their gentle demeanor makes them great with children, too. Expect to do a lot of petting if you own one! Japanese Chins come in two varieties: long-haired and short-haired. The long-haired variety has an even temperament and loves people; however, it sheds quite a bit and requires more grooming care than its short-haired counterpart does. Short-haired Japanese Chins shed less and don’t require as much maintenance, making them a better choice for those who want a low-maintenance pet. Both types of Japanese Chins are very intelligent and trainable, so expect to spend some time teaching your new tricks. It’s worth it, though – these dogs love pleasing their owners and will happily show off any new tricks they learn!

10) The Lhasa Apso

They have a natural air of superiority about them and can be quite vocal, but their long coats are absolutely adorable. The American Kennel Club has consistently ranked them as one of the top toy breeds for over 50 years. Lhasas can live for 15-20 years and need daily walks to stay fit. If you’re looking for a cute, small dog with some attitude, look no further than Lhasas! Their unusual appearance and independent nature make them very endearing dogs. It’s not uncommon for people to fall in love with these little furballs at first sight. As they age, they become even more cuddly and expressive, making them wonderful companions throughout life. But before you adopt a Lhasa Apso puppy, consider whether or not your lifestyle is right for such an active breed; they don't like being left alone all day while you're at work! When you get home from work each day, take your dog out on a brisk walk or run so that he can get his energy out—and so that he doesn't keep yapping at your heels all night. He needs lots of exercise and attention if he's going to live happily in your home. Lhasas aren't good apartment dogs because they require lots of outdoor time and human interaction. Be sure to include him in your daily routine so that he doesn't develop separation anxiety or other behavior problems!

If you want a great family pet who will provide unconditional love for years, then go ahead and adopt a Lhasa Apso today! After all, what could be cuter than those floppy ears? However, if you prefer dogs who need less grooming and maintenance (such as short-haired breeds), then it might be best to pass on adopting a Lhasa Apso. Don't worry though—there are plenty of other fun, loving pooches waiting for homes at shelters across America!
