West Highland White Terrier

Given their adorable, teddy-like appearance, you might be fooled into thinking a Westie is a pretty lapdog. However, they are terrier through and through, with oodles of energy, wit, and courage in a small, snowy package. They might be common companion dogs nowadays, but these sweet-looking white pups were once voracious vermin catchers.

Dachshund

Dachshunds are daring and delightful dogs, with more character than you could shake a well-fetch stick at. These dinky dogs are utterly unique in their looks thanks to their sausage-shape but have just as quirky a paw-sonality.

Cavapoo

Cavapoos are friendly and and fun little pups that love humans of all ages. Affectionate and sociable, they can live in almost any home and make good dogs for first-time owners, just as long as they’re not left alone for too long.

Cocker Spaniel

Famously friendly and energetic, the Cocker Spaniel is an exceptional family pet, but does have a lot of energy and fur so they require moderate amounts of walking and grooming. But their adorable personalities make them pup-ular companions, as they are super loving and eager to please, which makes training easy.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are cheerful and companionable canines that make pup-ular pets. They might look almost identical to King Charles Spaniels, but Cavaliers are a distinct breed. CKCS or Cavaliers are small enough to live anywhere and loving enough to live with anyone, it’s no wonder they’re consistently in the top 20 most pup-ular breeds in the UK.

Chihuahua

Alert, active, and incredibly loving. Chihuahuas are loyal little lapdogs with huge characters. They’re a relatively healthy breed and are known to live incredibly long lives. The Chihuahua is paw-haps one of the most famous dogs in the world thanks to their tiny size, big personalities, and regular appearances on screen.

A Shih Tzu is a loving and lively little dog that was bred to be a companion animal, so it’s no wonder that these toy-sized dogs make fantastic pets. Their small size and low exercise needs make them adaptable to apartment living, so they are a pup-ular pet for smaller spaces. Their fur does require a lot of grooming, but they are a “hypoallergenic” breed, making them paw-fect for households that might have allergies.

Shih Tzu

Great Danes are giant dogs that are surprisingly gentle around other people and pets, but they can be protective of their homes. Great Danes can make brilliant family pets as long as they have plenty of space to accommodate their huge size. 

They’re docile and dependable dogs who love nothing more than hanging out with their humans, and they don’t need tons of grooming or marathon-worthy walks despite their large size.

Great Dane

Pugs are pretty unmistakable pooches thanks to their squashed faces, and have become hugely pup-ular in recent years along with other smooshy pups like the French Bulldog. They make cheeky and cheerful pets, and these deeply loving dogs are happy to be the centre of family life. They don’t need a lot of exercise but they do need regular grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Staffies look tough but in reality these dogs are playful and exceptionally loving, and they thrive on human company including that of children. They’ve had an unfair reputation that means many people overlook this breed, however, they are easy to care for and train, and they make fantastic family pets and caring canine companions.

Small enough to live anywhere but brimming with big paw-sonalities, the Yorkshire Terrier looks tiny and sweet, but they are fun and feisty pups sure to keep any family on their toes. (Not least because you need to be careful you don’t trip on them.) 

This toy-sized breed doesn’t need a lot of space, food, or exercise, but they have a lot of love and character in that tiny body.

Stocky, sturdy, and small, the little French Bulldog has seen huge popularity in recent years as one of the most famous dog breeds around. These dogs are easily recognisable (and positively adorable) thanks to their short, wrinkly noses, big eyes, and large bat-like ears. As well as their cute features, these pooches make brilliant family pets, so it’s no wonder they’re so popular.

Jack Russell Terriers are happy little dogs who make great companions for active individuals or families, but their assertive nature can make them unsuitable around young children and other animals. These dogs are whip-smart and doggedly determined, which means proper socialisation, training, and stimulation are a must to keep them happy at home.

Bichon Frises are beautiful and loyal little dogs with a whole lot of love and playfulness bundled into those fluffy furballs. Bichons need a lot of grooming to keep that curly white coat in good condition but they don’t need huge amounts of exercise or food thanks to their small size.

Whippets are speedy, sleek, and sensitive dogs that can suit a variety of households thanks to their laid back and gentle nature, and surprisingly easy care. Despite their sporting background, Whippets don’t need a ton of exercise and they would happily spend all day snuggled on your bed snoozing. They’re quiet and polite dogs, unless you happen to be something small and furry, in which case a Whippet will want to chase you down.

A Cockapoo isn’t a recognised breed itself, but a very popular crossbreed between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. No litter of Cockapoos will be the same as there is no telling what characteristics, colours, and looks they will inherit from their Cocker and Poodle parents. One thing that will remain the same across all litters of dogs is the delightful Cockapoo temperament. These are cheeky, clever, and companionable dogs who love playing and cuddling with their human family.

Border Terriers are plucky dogs with a love for people. They make paw-some pets even for a family, and can live almost anywhere. This easygoing dog is as happy to go hiking with you as they are content to stay inside cuddling you all day.

If you’re wanting to learn more about various long-haired breeds, then look no further than right here.
