It doesn’t take a genius to know it’s near impossible to rank the cuteness of dogs. Just like the beauty of flowers, everyone thinks something different is the most perfect (and cutest) feature of these canine companions! However, when you ask people what they think the cutest ever dog breeds are, there are a select few that constantly keep appearing. Here are our top 5 cutest ever dog breeds from those answers.
Poodle
Irresistibly cute and the perfect dog for allergy sufferers – it’s hard to find something to complain about with poodles. Surprisingly, poodles were originally bred to retrieve prey from the water, but these days, they love nothing more than a snuggle with you on your sofa.
Golden Retriever
These gorgeous Andrex dogs are super friendly and easy-going which makes for an ideal dog for a family. They grow super quickly and reach adulthood in about six months, not to mention they’re born for an active lifestyle and love a good run around!
Bernese Mountain Dog
Originally from the Swedish Alps where their favourite pastime was pulling carts and looking after children – these dogs are among the breeds known as “nanny dogs” – Bernies love playing outside just as much as they love laying around the house. They’re steady-tempered dogs and again, great with families, while their big and fluffy coat means they weigh anywhere between 80 and 110 pounds!
Siberian Husky
A classic cutie, Siberian huskies are part of the Spitz family – a breed of dogs with prick ears, a wedge-shaped face, and most importantly, a thick furry coat to shield them from the cold. After all, it’s not very hot in Siberia! To make these fluffy balls of cuteness even better, Siberian huskies don’t bark often, but instead “talk” to their owners by howling.
Dachshund
The tiny size of dachshunds has meant they’ve increased in popularity in recent years as their minuscule body makes them ideal dogs for smaller houses and apartments. This breed makes great guard dogs and will let you know whenever there is someone outside your home, while they also enjoy the mental stimulation, they get from all the scents and sounds outdoors!
