If you’re considering getting a dog, consider one of the cutest dog breeds. Options include Aussies, Shih Tzus, Yorkies, and Corgis.

Feeling like something is missing in your everyday life? Maybe you want something to liven up the family household? You probably want to add a furry companion to your family. Choosing one of the cutest dog breeds can make an excellent addition to a family, couple, or single-person home. 

Before that, maybe some of you would like to free up your time so you can look for a pet. If you’re a troubled student who’s going to burn out soon if you don’t get help, then don’t worry. We have a solution.

Here are some of the cutest dog breeds that will make great companions.

These dogs are typically friendly, laidback, and great with families. The golden retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds. They’re honestly lovable and one of the cutest dog breeds.

Let’s get into the origins of this breed a bit more. This breed started as a Scottish gundog. Its development started around 1835. They used to help in hunting and even field work. Now, they’re a great family pet. The dogs help the blind and can help in search and rescue missions.

They’re relatively easy to train and are very energetic, so if you’re down to play catch, walk, swim and play fetch, then this is the golden option.

Shih Tzu

Known as the little ‘lion dog,’ the Shih Tzu is one ancient breed. It’s been around for a thousand years (reportedly). These dogs are typically small in size, which increases their cute factor, but they’ve still got a lot of character even if they’re smaller than other breeds.

Typically, Shih Tzus are great with children, so for those who have a family to consider, this won’t be a problem. Don’t forget that in the genes of this dog breed lies the memory of being served like royalty. Shih Tzus were a popular choice for many royalties. Do have a garden, and get your lap ready since they love sitting on it. 

Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Pembroke Welsh Corgis make great family pets.

Corgis are loyal, clever, and loving dogs who are normally great in family settings.

This breed of corgi is athletic and used to be a cattle herder.

They’re affectionate and are one of the most popular herding breeds. 

Australian Shepherd

For energetic owners who need active dogs, then the Aussie shepherd might just be your match. Full of energy, playfulness, cheerfulness, and the whole mix, Aussie shepherds will run across the park with you and bounce around as they do so.

They have a very beautiful and peculiar look that’s hard to miss. Some of these dogs have snow-piercingly beautiful blue eyes, and their fur coats vary in color and pattern.

Be warned. One of the cutest dog breeds is a natural herding dog and may not be suited for owners who don’t want a dog with a zest for energy. 

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Try to expose your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy to an array of locations, other animals, and people. Be sure the experiences are fun for everyone.

His name is directly connected to a British king; therefore, the spaniel already gets bragging rights just from their name alone. They are small dogs, but they are both gentle and athletic.

Graced with an even temper and a unique look, it’s not difficult to see the ties to old royalty and fancy origins when looking at this dog.

Depending on the dog’s character and its owner’s influence, the dog can be quite laid back and even lazy at times. On the other hand, the dog can be energetic and active.

These dogs are adaptable, and even though they might have hailed from royalty sometime in the past, they won’t snob you if you’re a good owner. Just take good care of them.

Yorkshire Terrier

Sassy and loveable, these dogs are playful and aren’t shy to demand your attention.

They are cute little lap dogs who have more vicious origins. Nowadays, they’re busy making your heart melt.

Yorkshires used to be ratters in mines and mills before becoming lap dogs for the upper class. Having a silky coat and all that, while looking kind of dainty, you’d be surprised how feisty and bossy these dogs can be.

These dogs are one of the cutest dog breeds, so they look adorable. But if you want a cute dog with character, here’s your pick.

French Bulldog

Small in stature but still a bulldog, this dog is playful, adaptable, cautious, and adorable. If you want a dog that doesn’t bark too much but is still a great watchdog, these dogs would be ideal. They are also great family pets and don’t require much exercise.

They are super sociable and get along with many humans and animals alike. They might look a bit feisty, but they’re surprisingly friendly and easy to get along with. And if you’re a fan of their unique look, then all the better.
