No. 4 – The French Bulldog

A separate breed distinct from traditional English cousins, Frenchies are quite a bit smaller and more playful. They look kind of similar to Pugs, and have trouble regulating their temperature due to their thin coats.

No. 3 – The Golden Retriever

Goldens are the supermodels of the canine world, but everyone loves them anyway. They do well when filmed or in PR roles, and they’re athletic and could do equally well as hunting companions or family pets. They’re most people’s dream dog for good reason.
