OK, who doesn’t love a cute puppy? Whether they have big floppy paws, a little pudgy body or a goofy grin, there is something about being around them that simply makes you smile.
When people are looking for a new companion, one of the first things they notice is usually the pup’s ‘cuteness quotient’ (not a real thing, it is just something we made up!).
But everyone has a different idea of what cute looks like. It could be wrinkly skin, or droopy ears, sparkling eyes, and tails that don’t stop wagging or little balls of fluff.
What one person thinks of as cute, might be downright ugly for someone else. And the ugliest dog might be the cutest thing on four legs for others.
This is a great thing when you think about it, because it means that every dog has the chance to be someone’s idea of the cutest!
Our list of the cutest dog breeds in the world is a great place to start checking out what pups might tick the cuteness box for you.
Some pups have found worldwide fame for their cuteness.
Pups like Boo, the little Pomeranian who just before he died in 2019 had over 17 million fans on Facebook, four photo-books named after him and was known as the World’s cutest dog.
Or Maru the Shiba Inu, who lives in Japan and has over 1.3 million followers on Instagram – no wonder he is always smiling!
If you think your best friend has a cuteness quotient that is off the charts, why not enter them into a cute dog contest? There are always lots of contests running on the Internet. Even if you don’t win, you can have lots of fun trying and are sure to end up with some great pictures and treasured memories of your cute pooch.
So, how have we come up with a list of the cutest dog breeds?
The answer is that there is absolutely no science in it. Our list of cutest dog breeds is entirely subjective. But we think every pooch on it has that cute ‘it’ factor that makes you want to wrap them up in cuddles and love.
Why not take a look? We dare you to not smile!
