No. 10 – The German Shorthaired Pointer

The GSP is an athletic, friendly and eager to please medium-large dog typically used for hunting purposes, and occasionally featured in literature. They’re a pretty healthy breed, but they do shed almost constantly.

No.. 9 – The Yorkshire Terrier

Yorkies have a reputation as a prissy and overly yappy breed, but they make great companions. They live extremely long lives for dogs, and they would shine in shampoo commercials with their silky, sleek coats. They don’t shed very often, either, which is a good thing if you or someone in your household has dog allergies.
