Mastiff

What chunky little lads we have on our hands. It's hard to believe these little mastiff puppies grow up to be over 100 pounds!

Cocker Spaniel

Cocker spaniel puppies are lively, sweet-natured, and affectionate. If puppy dog eyes had an origin story, we found the culprit.

Yorkshire Terrier

You only need one hand to hold these small, bicolored babies. Yorkie puppies can weigh just a few pounds!

Between all those precious wrinkles is a real-life dog! Shar-pei puppies and adults are prone to many health issues and require proper ear, skin, and eye care. Always consult with a vet to learn how to best care for these unique pups.

German Shepherd

German shepherd puppies have the cutest snoots and flopped-over ears. That herding background will keep you on your toes, too!

Schnauzer

Excuse me, I mustache you a question. How'd you get so cute? Schnauzer puppies come in miniature, standard, and even giant sizes.

Pug

Somehow pugs are babies and old men all at once. These sweet pups are a brachycephalic breed, and their adorable smushed face can unfortunately lead to some health problems, so do your research before seeking out these smushy puppies.

Italian Greyhound

What lanky lads we have here. We love that about the regal Italian greyhound!
