The 31 Cutest Dog Breeds in the Whole Wide World

All corgis are cute, but Cardigan Welsh Corgis have that adorable spotted fur that makes them a stand-out breed. Plus, those giant ears and tiny little legs are too much to take. (And this one has two different-colored eyes and personally, it's really sending me over the edge.)

As John Mulaney said of his Frenchie Petunia, it's "like having a baby that is also a grandma. Her body is young, her face is as old as time." These pupperoonis are known for their wrinkly little faces and big paws, so it's no surprise they're mega popular. People actually refer to them as the unofficial dog of New York City.

The word that comes to mind when I think of Australian Shepherds is ~majestic.~ Their fluffy little bods and playful spirits make them ideal pets, and their coats come in an array of gorgeous patterns. Plus, they're medium-sized so you can tote them pretty much anywhere. Pup perfection.

Beagles are like movie dogs. They have floppy ears, sappy eyes, ahhdorable paws, and those tiny wet noses. All they have to do is tilt their little heads to the side, and hearts around the world melt.

These fluffy little babies look like descendants of Lady from Lady and the Tramp, so yeah, they're pretty much dog royalty. Cavaliers are a pretty chill breed; mostly they just want to lay around all day, putting their cuteness on full display. We're so lucky to exist on the same planet as them, sigh.

My love for Golden Retrievers dates back to Air Bud, and I know I'm not alone. These guys start as little balls of fluff, and then they become life-sized teddy bears that live to make people happy. How can you not love that sweet, loyal face?

Siberian Huskies can weigh up to 60 pounds when they're fully grown, and their luscious fur gives the illusion that their silhouette is even bigger. Their iconic black and white coats and those bright blue eyes make them a truly show-stopping breed.

If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting one of these spotted pups, you haven't truly lived. They're extra cute because they're usually only one color on their heads, but their fur develops into a fun pattern on their bodies and limbs. Each pooch is unique, and also perfect!

Listen, these spotted doggos have a whole movie series dedicated to them for a reason. Dalmatians kind of always look like they're smiling, and if you don't agree, you're entering into Cruella de Vil territory.

I might be biased because I myself have two labs, but they are *the* most popular dog in the U.S. according to the American Kennel Club, so it's safe to say most people agree with my cute assessment. Just look at their faces! These guys are equal parts fluffy and athletic, and they come in an array of colors, giving us even more to love.

Brittany Spaniels are refined-looking but very strong, and their gentle demeanor makes them an excellent family dog. Their sweet eyes and spotted fur will melt your freakin' heart.

Weimaraners have been becoming more popular lately, and I for one am thrilled about their well-deserved rise to the top. They're a sleek and sweet breed, and their eyes stand out from their monochrome fur. I also love that they all look a bit clumsy.

You didn't think I was going to forget the OG corgi breed, did you?? Pembroke Corgis are the tiny orange cuties you know and love. The ears, the tiny tail, the big eyes—it's almost like they were made in a cute factory, no?

Novas don't get as much attention as some of the other breeds on this list, but they should. They're fluffy retrievers, with a gorgeous coat of rouge-colored fur, and they're medium-sized so they look a bit more like a shepherd breed.

German Shepherds are little studs, capturing hearts with their fluffy hair and gigantic ears. They're super loyal and smart, which is why they often get chosen to be workin' pups. The goodest of boys.

Behold, the fluffiest dogs in all the land. I'm pretty sure they got their name from the literal mountain of fur they have on their bodies. (Don't fact-check me on that though.) They're built for work, but extremely affectionate and well-behaved.

Welshies are kind of like Brittany Spaniels, but they have a bit less red fur and they're smaller. They're also super loyal and have an agreeable demeanor. Welsh Spring Spaniels can be a bit stubborn, but mostly on the subject of wanting to play with you for hours.

These big boys have sweet faces, large ears, and huge paws. Great Danes come in a variety of colors (black, brindle, fawn, blue, mantle, and harlequin) and they're known for their gentle temperament. Oh, by the way, that's a puppy pictured here—there's no way you could pick up a Great Dance once it's fully grown. (Unless you're, like, super strong.)

Golden Doodles are a combination of everything good in this world: poodles and golden retrievers, aka curly-haired cuteness, smarts, and never-ending energy. They're a little easier to own than a regular retriever, as they max out at 45 lbs at their very biggest. It's way harder for a lil Goldendoodle to escape the dog park with those teeny legs.

Vizslas are another underrated breed that we should all start worshipping. They'll win you over with that beautiful russet fur, golden eyes, and floppy ears. They're also super athletic, so they're great if you're looking for a running buddy.
