Get ready, cute puppies ahead! 

All puppies are cute, but some breeds have that extra “je ne sais quoi” that makes them irresistible. For this reason, some of these breeds are popular in greeting cards, commercials and other marketing materials. They’re the puppies that turn dog lovers consistently to mush because of all the cuteness!

According to dog parents, these breeds have the cutest puppies:

#1 – English Bulldog

There is something about these wrinkly, tubby, squat puppies that just make humans melt. Bulldog puppies literally make people stop in their tracks. It’s why they are so popular on greeting cards and print advertisements.

#2 – Golden Retriever

There is something about a Golden puppy that makes everyone smile. They are used in a lot of commercials, and it’s no secret why—they are irresistible.

Breed Tip: Golden Retrievers don’t care to be left alone. Couple that with their propensity for chewing and you could have problems if Golden pups get lonely.

#3 – Labrador Retriever

Another breed that gets a lot of air-time as a puppy is the Lab. And we all know why: their rolly-polly bodies and sweet face could sell anything.

#4 – Corgi

With their short little legs and ears that are bigger than their body, corgi puppies are absolutely adorable. To see one is to fall in love immediately.

Breed Tip: Corgi dogs aim to please their people and love to be near them. Be sure you don’t mind having a little dog shadow everywhere you go if you’re considering adding a Corgi puppy to your home.

#5 – French Bulldog

Like the Pug and English Bulldog, something about the Frenchie’s flat face is endearing. Couple it with those too-big ears, and you have one cute pup.

Breed Tip: Those wrinkles that help make French Bulldogs so darling require care. Be sure to wipe those rolls clean after dinnertime and bath time.

#6 – Pomeranian

As a puppy, this breed looks like a little teddy bear. Their fluffy coat, tiny ears, and round eyes make it impossible to not want to pick them up and cuddle them.

Breed Tip: Pomeranian dogs require much in the way of grooming. All that floof has the potential to mat without regular combing.

#7 – Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

If there was ever a dog breed that was born to give her owner the “sad look,” it would be the cavi. No one can resist this face.

#8 – Saint Bernard

Those big paws, covered in extra soft fur, make the Saint Bernard puppy one of the cutest of the giant breeds. The “sad eyes” don’t hurt, either.

#9 – Basset Hound

This puppy has it all: short, wrinkly legs, tons of loose skin, ears that are too big, and those sad eyes. Not to mention how soft those giant ears are, they definitely rate as irresistible.

Breed Tip: Basset Hounds can be stubborn, so patience is key when it comes to training. Be warned, these flop-eared hounds love to talk in their outside voices.

#10 – Pug

While their looks are slightly unconventional, you can’t help but smile when you see a pug pup. They bring much joy with their bug-eyes, smooched face, and curly tail.

Breed Tip: Pugs do what they want, when they want! Get ready for some battles of the wills with this fun and silly breed.

Breed Tip: Dachshunds need regular exercise to keep their long backs strong and healthy.

#12 – Siberian Husky

You’ll never find a cuter snow bunny that this little puppy! Ready for the cold and to warm your heart, the Husky is just too adorable with that fluffy coat.

Breed Tip: Siberian Huskies need big yards to burn out energy. Plus, this cold weather breed prefers cooler climates.

Weim puppies are the cutest little velveteen babies you’ve ever seen. Their hugs are as soft as their fur.

Those big ears are too much cute to handle! These cute puppies definitely have to grow into their ears, but until they do, German Shepherds pups will rob you of your heart.
