15 Dog Breeds That Are Absolutely Irresistible As Puppies

| Published on October 20, 2015

Let’s face it, we all know all puppies are cute. Baby anything is cute – we know! But within cute there is a scale and there are definitely breeds of puppies that are on the higher end of “cute” than others.

Here is a list of 15 breeds that are irresistibly cute as puppies. Think we missed one? Tell us in the comments!

#1 –  English Bulldog

All that loose skin and those wrinkles! What’s not to love?

#2 – Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier

The Wheaten’s looks change quite a bit from puppy to adult, especially since owners have to keep them trimmed up as they get older. The changing colors of the coat (from dark to light) and the fuzzy beards make this puppy very kissable.

#3 – Shetland Sheepdog

Small, spunky balls of fluff coming in many colors and patterns – who could resist?

#4 – Shar-pei

Like the English Bulldog, the Shar-pei’s extra skin and wrinkles just make him huggable and squeezable. Good luck going in public with one of these…everyone is going to want to hold him!

#5 – Chow Chow

As a puppy, the Chow Chow looks like a tiny bear cub – blocky, large round head, teddy bear ears and an enormously fluffy coat. You are not going to be able to turn away from this pup!

#6 – Shiba Inu

If the Chow Chow resembles a bear cub, the Shiba resembles a little fox pup, or even a red panda. They are undeniably cute (and also lots of trouble!). Many owners claim, “it’s a good thing he’s so cute” with this independent breed.

#7 – Corgi

If you have not seen a corgi puppy, then you are missing out on one of life’s greatest gifts! There is nothing as cute as a corgi puppy – short legs, giant ears, squat body – trying to run to you. He will be sure to put a smile on your face, no matter how bad of a mood you are in.

#8 – Golden Retriever

There is a reason this soft, fluffy pup is in all the commercials – he’s irresistible. You’d buy whatever he is selling just in case he comes with it!

#9 – Great Dane

Awkward puppies are always cute and Dane puppies with their giant legs and ears and lack of coordination definitely win that award. They are dorky and adorable – what’s not to love?

#10 – Pomeranian

Like the Chow, the Pom pup looks like a tiny teddy bear. And who doesn’t want to cuddle a warm, living teddy bear that will give you a kiss on the nose? We are pretty sure you aren’t breathing if you don’t find these guys cute.

#11 –  Old English Sheepdog

Fluffy and curly, with big paws and a sweet face, you can’t say no to him. You just can’t. So don’t even try.

#12 – Italian Greyhound

Why is the greyhound puppy cute? Because he looks like a tiny deer or a little rabbit. And, while they may look breakable, they are actually quite sturdy and enjoy a good game of fetch in the field before curling up in your lap.

#13 – Bernese Mountain Dog

The Berner has a soft fluffy puppy coat, adorable markings and one of those “sad faces” that will just suck you in. Not to mention the roly-poly body. They are definitely “too cute.”

#14 – Newfoundland

Fluff is definitely the “it’ factor for this adorable puppy. Of course, they also have the “sad face” look and know how to use it. Be prepared to give in to this puppy’s wishes – we dare you not to!

#15 – Cocker Spaniel

If you have seen Lady & The Tramp, then you know why this puppy steals your heart without you even realizing it. Those floppy ears that are as soft as velvet and those soulful eyes see right into your heart.
