The most beautiful dog breeds in the world: top 20, photo

Beauty is a relative concept, because each of us has our own view of things. What seems flawless to one is bad taste or even ugliness to another.

There are a great many of the most beautiful dogs of various breeds on Earth: each is unique in its own way and each will find a fan. Even those dogs that can hardly be called beautiful have many "admirers".

20. Papillon

Papillons are considered the oldest breed of purebred small dogs. The name translated from French means "butterfly", which is understandable: their large shaggy ears can be compared with the wings of a beautiful butterfly. The papillons were bred in the 17th century and were first brought to Bologna as a gift to the French king Louis XIV. These cute small dogs they are distinguished by beauty, intelligence and friendliness, which is not typical for small breeds.

19. Pekingese

Pekingese are also an ancient breed of dogs, but they were bred in China, which is logical to assume from their name.

This later affected the character of the Pekingese: they require all-consuming attention to themselves and always try to be in the spotlight.

18. Japanese Chin

The main characteristics of the Japanese Chin are kindness, calmness and loyalty. They get along easily with children.

17. American Cocker Spaniel

Many dog ​​handlers consider this breed of dogs of American origin the smartest of all decorative dogs. Indeed, cocker spaniels are characterized by a special intelligence, quick wits and activity. You are unlikely to find a spaniel sleeping day and night, occasionally waddling from side to side. They will always find something to do with themselves.

16. Pembroke Welsh Corgi

The breed was popularized back in the 10th century and was used mainly for grazing livestock. Their small stature helped to deftly dodge blows from hooves and horns. Speaking about the character of the Welsh Corgi, it is worth noting their kindness and intelligence.

15. Beagle

Beagles have always been considered and are still considered one of the best hunting dog breeds. They have an excellent sense of smell, which allows them to feel their prey from a kilometer away.

Shelties have high intelligence, activity and kindness.

6. Golden Retriever

The uniqueness of retrievers lies in the fact that they feel great both in the water and on land. They are good bloodhounds and consummate rescuers.

English Springer Spaniels are practically not prone to aggression, they are very kind and playful.

4. Scottish Setter

As a typical hunting breed, Setters require at least occasional exercise and plenty of space.Despite the fact that they are unpretentious, very hardy and able to adapt to almost any climate, these dogs require careful grooming, and in particular - regular combing of their fur.

Chow Chow is the oldest of the dogs. Some mentions of them have an age of about two thousand years. They were bred by monks of Buddhist monasteries, where the pedigrees of each dog were even kept.

1. Tibetan Mastiff

Considering the geographical isolation of Tibet, the purebredness of this breed cannot be disputed. Tibetan Mastiffs are beautiful, strong, powerful, dear dogsable to withstand even the most difficult living conditions and harsh climate. They just need training. Otherwise, they become uncontrollable and dangerous.

1. Siberian Husky is the most beautiful dog in the world

The Husky shares the first place in the list of the most beautiful dogs along with the Tibetan Mastiff. Huskies were bred as sled dogs, but quickly became decorative and show dogs due to their resemblance to wolves. They have beautiful thick hair, a fox tail and unusual eye color. The freedom-loving disposition often makes the Husky run away from home. These dogs need a lot of attention, training and active walks.

There are many dog ​​breeds in the world and each of them is beautiful. But if you ask any dog ​​breeder of our planet, "Which dog is the most beautiful?", He will answer without any doubt - "Mine!" And he will be right. After all, our pets are not made beautiful by the thickness of their fur, not by big "calf" eyes, not by cute faces, but by our love.
