They look like a terrier crossed with a moustachioed philosopher, long body, short legs, a silky topknot that’s part lion’s mane, part Victorian bonnet. Don’t let the wig fool you: this little Scots dog has terrier fire hidden under the elegance. Not sure if a dignified digger is your vibe? Try our Which Dog Breed …
The Dogue de Bordeaux looks like it’s wandered straight out of a medieval castle — wrinkled face, melon-sized head, and jowls with the power to redecorate your walls in seconds. Fierce on the outside, yes. But on the inside? A soft, loyal family dog who just wants your sofa (and your sandwich). Not sure if …
There’s a reason the English Cocker Spaniel is nicknamed the “merry cocker.” With those soulful eyes, silky ears, and nonstop wagging tails, these spaniels are charmers through and through. Bred as gundogs, they’ve still got plenty of “field fizz” in them — meaning you’ll get a loving, playful companion who’s also part chaos machine if …
The English Foxhound isn’t your average family dog — this is a hound bred to run with a pack for hours, nose down, tail up, following scent trails across fields and hedges. They’re gentle, affectionate, and sociable, but also stubborn, noisy, and not the type you can casually unclip on a Sunday stroll. If you …

If dogs came with an “energy rating,” the English Springer Spaniel would be an A+++ appliance that never switches off.

Few breeds can claim to have warmed the laps of royalty, but the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has been stealing hearts since the days of King Charles II. With their silky ears, soulful eyes, and a tail that never stops wagging, Cavaliers are affectionate companions through and through. However, behind the royal name lies a …
If the Springer is a caffeinated whirlwind and the Cocker is your social butterfly, then the Field Spaniel is the chilled, soulful cousin who’s just as happy sniffing hedgerows as they are snoozing on the sofa. Bred in England as a steady gundog, Field Spaniels never quite hit the popularity of their spaniel relatives — …
The French Bulldog, or “Frenchie,” is the ultimate little comedian — all bat ears, snorts, and wiggly bottoms. Originally bred as companion dogs in 19th-century Paris, they’ve risen to become one of the UK’s most popular breeds. They’re playful, people-loving, and endlessly entertaining… but they also come with some serious health considerations. Owner insight: “I …
The German Pinscher is a medium-sized powerhouse with sleek lines, a sharp mind, and a big heart for their family.
