        Top world famous dogs 

#1: Labrador Retriever

The Labrador Retriever easily tops the list of the world’s favorite canines. With coat colors including yellow, black and chocolate, Labs come in a variety of looks. Their high intelligence and even temperament makes them perfect as helpers for those with sight impairment or other physical disabilities. They’re often used to provide comfort and reassurance for anxious humans. Students during finals weeks, patients in the hospital, and traumatized children in courtrooms often benefit from the calming presence of a Labrador Retriever. They also make ideal family pets, since they’re protective while also being kind and patient with children

#2: Golden Retrievers

Golden Retrievers, like Labs, are commonly used as working dogs. Intelligent and helpful, they’ve been trained to sniff out narcotics, rescue crisis victims and provide emotional support in stressful situations. Golden Retrievers can work hard, but they also play hard. They love to swim, fetch balls and Frisbees, romp with children and take long walks or jogs. Their beautiful golden coats, ranging from the palest yellow to a dark reddish tint, have also made them a global favorite.

#3: German Shepherds

German Shepherds originated in Germany, as you might expect, as a working breed. Before the Industrial Revolution swept Europe and America, German Shepherds were often found on rural farms, herding sheep and cattle. When the German people began leaving their villages and farms for larger, industrial cities, they brought their beloved farm dogs with them. German Shepherds proved to be ideal dogs for home protection—they’re loyal, territorial, and powerful. Today they make ideal police and military dogs. Although they can also be family pets, they’re happiest when they have an active job to do.

#4: Poodles

________

Poodles come in four varieties, or sizes: Standard, Medium, Miniature, and Toy. Their thick, curly coats make them ideal water dogs, and historically, they were often used to retrieve game while hunting. For people who are allergic to dog hair, poodles’ coats are often less irritating than other breeds. However, poodles do need to be groomed every month or two. They can be clipped in many different styles,

#5: Chihuahuas

Chihuahuas tend to be a polarizing breed. Some people love them, while others can’t stand them. However, there are around 3 million pet Chihuahuas in America alone, so their unique appeal for many owners is clear to see. Chihuahuas come in long-haired and short-haired varieties and typically weigh 6 pounds or less. Although they can be aggressive towards people and other dogs, Chihuahuas are typically affectionate towards their owners and boast a big personality in a small frame.

#6: Beagles

Known for their distinctive howl-like bark, beagles are among the oldest dog breeds. They were originally used for hunting in packs, and their present-day personalities reflect their past. Beagles are sociable with other dogs and with people, and they make loving companions. Beagles are categorized as hounds, or hunting dogs, but they are among the smaller hound breeds. Like all hounds, they have exceptionally keen eyes and noses.

#7: Yorkshire Terriers

The Yorkshire Terrier was originally bred around 200 years ago in Yorkshire, England. Many “Yorkies” are black and tan, but they also come in other varieties such as yellow or gray. These dogs are tiny—usually under 7 pounds—but full of life and energy. Yorkies don’t shed as much as many other breeds, so they’re ideal for those with allergies to pet hair. They tend to get very attached to their owners. This means they’re excellent company when you’re at home, but they do get very anxious when owners are away.

#8: Pugs

Many veterinarians will tell you that pugs are addictive. Once an owner falls in love with the breed, they often stick to owning pugs for life! Not only are they compact, but they’re generally calmer and quieter than many other small dog breeds. When you take a stroll with your pug in the big city, you can expect other pedestrians to stop and comment on its distinctive, adorable look. As a breed, pugs are often prone to unique health problems, so regular checkups and a healthy diet are important.

#9: Bulldogs

Bulldogs are a British breed known for their calmness and gentleness. With loose facial skin, hanging jowls, and short, snub noses, bulldogs manage to look tough but kindly at the same time. Despite their short, stubby legs, bulldogs are still muscular and athletic and love regular exercise. Bulldogs are sociable and agreeable, but also known for their determination and stubbornness. The bulldog’s dignified yet resolute personality has led to its use as a national symbol for Britain, particularly during World War 2.

#10: Bichon Frise

Fluffy, cuddly and cheerful, a Bichon Frise is certain to turn heads and get smiles from strangers every time you go for a walk. These dogs are especially great city-dwellers because they’re so adaptable and easy to train. Your neighbors will appreciate the obedient yet bubbly personality of this small breed!
