If you're the kind of person who can't see a dog walking down the street with its owner and already wants to hug and cuddle the animal, congratulations: you've just earned the certificate of people who love cute dog breeds. Not that you don't love others too (and every dog likes affection, what changes is the intensity), but there are those who end up being more squeezable, even if only in the eyes.To prove this point, we've gathered here the most popular cute dog breeds you can find: the challenge is to get to the end of this post without wanting to sigh at least once!

1) Pomeranian Lulu

Cheerful, companionable and very sociable, the Pomeranian Lulu - also known as Dwarf Spitz - awakens the desire to hug and cuddle because of its dense coat. And the animals of this breed usually love a cuddle: it is almost joining the useful to the pleasant!

2) Siberian Husky

Although the serious expression and distrust of strangers makes many people wary of approaching the Siberian Husky, once he gets to know you and gets used to your company, everything is party: and he also loves a cuddle in the moments when he accompanies the owner.

3) Yorkshire

Playful and in love with his owner, the Yorkshire Terrier is another cute small dog breed that you can have as a companion dog anywhere, whether it's a house or an apartment. If he likes you, he's sure to let you give him some long cuddles.

4) Golden Retriever

The dream of most people who like big dogs and companions, the Golden Retriever is perfect for families with children precisely because of the cuteness factor. He is able to sit still for hours being made a pillow by the owner and still be happy about it!

5) Border Collie

As a good working dog, the Border Collie is always aware of what's going on around him, but that doesn't stop him from being super affectionate and faithful to his owners. In other words: besides being a great companion dog, he will still try to protect you from any danger and should be rewarded with lots of affection, yes!

6) Chow Chow

A life-sized teddy bear, the Chow Chow has the strongest personality and isn't the biggest fan of being held constantly, but that's exactly what we feel like doing as soon as we lay eyes on him. His big, inviting coat is made for cuddling: it's worth the exercise to get his trust first!

7) Shih Tzu

Having a Shih Tzu is having a companion for all moments, from the most agitated games to the days spent watching a TV series marathon. Therefore, he masterfully occupies the post of mini mascot of the house and is perfect to receive affection whenever you feel necessary.

8) Maltese

The white coat that gives the Maltese the appearance of a fluffy cloud is one of his most appealing features and no one has any doubts about that. He is also very loyal to his owner and because he has the strongest temperament, he can become a little aggressive - but nothing that a lot of affection and socialization can't solve!

9) Poodle

If we could sum up everything positive about a dog's personality in just one breed, it would probably be the Poodle: cheerful, affectionate, playful and very companionable, they also won't balk at longer cuddle sessions from their owners (and even a friendly stranger).

10) Akita

The Akita's loyalty to its owners is so great that it has even been immortalized on the silver screen. It is also one of those that has an inviting coat and loves to be around its owners, which means that after a relationship is built, you will be able to give this soft-hearted giant as much affection as you want.

11) SharPei

The crumpled face that makes the Shar Pei constantly mistaken for a Bulldog is one of the main characteristics that make this breed very eligible for a cuddle. And they love it: they are docile, attached to all guardians and like to be at home with them.

12) Cocker Spaniel

With plenty of energy to spend and a love for the owner that makes the moment of play one of the favorites of this breed, the Cocker Spaniel has a long coat and ears and has already been super popular in Brazil. Still, those who have one at home know the companionship and affection that the animal has: it is tight at all stages of life!
