Brussels Griffons are known for being very clingy to their owners. So once this domesticated companion falls in love with you, you’ll have trouble keeping it out of your lap!
This breed may feel overwhelmed by young children and tend to prefer the company of older people. Brussels Griffons are affectionate and relaxed, so one of these just may be The One for you.
Chinese Crested
The eerie-looking Chinese Crested requires no grooming at all unlike most of the dogs on our list. However, one thing different about this breed is that you will need to care for its exposed skin.
Chinese Cresteds have a moderate amount of energy but are also more than happy to sit quietly and chill with their owners.
Keeshond
If it's fluffiness that you’re looking for in a domesticated companion, then look no further than the Keeshond. Say hello to this fluffy, four-legged cloud. This is a unique-looking dog that has an impressive gray mane.
It's known for being obedient, clever, playful, and quick, so with traits like this, you're in for an entertaining ride getting to know and raise one of these furry fellas.
Mixed Breeds
You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on a purebred dog. Why not adopt a mixed-bred dog from your local shelter?
Mutts have benefits of their own — they usually experience fewer health problems and live longer than pure-bred pups. And you'll enjoy the best qualities of their parent's breed.
Shih Tzu
Originating from China, Shih Tzus, also called ‘Lion Dogs’, are wonderful for seniors. These pups are loyal, friendly, and pretty relaxed, as they don't require too much exercise. And the best part is that they love to snuggle.
Surprisingly, despite their (small) size, Shih Tzus make for good guard dogs, and will gladly take the watch for you whether you live in an apartment or a duplex — they can adapt to any lifestyle!
