14 Ideal Dog Breeds For When You Need An Overly Affectionate Fur Friend In Your Life

by Sophia

Nothing really beats the feeling of a pet who loves to be loved, especially when you're a fur parent that always goes to great lengths just to keep your fur best friend happy. Someone once said, "Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong," and no other words have been truer than true since then!

People who are on a pet-finding spree almost always consider having a dog with a cuddly personality. It isn't really that difficult, though, because even if dogs have various distinct personalities, all of them are always down for some snuggles and cuddles, even if that means taking up a lot of your time and personal space already.

Dogs will always crave some sort of personal connection with their owners, and they are never ones to turn down any kind of activity that will enable them to have great quality time with their parents. Whether they just purely want extra love or just probably want an extra treat, dogs will always find an excuse to be close to you and they will always find ways in getting your attention, no matter what you do.

That being said, there really are distinct breeds that just have a more cuddly personality than others, and people who would want to find a pet almost always prefer these ones because they guarantee a special connection like no other (no offense to other dog breeds, though)! Here are some of them:

1. Bichon Frise

Known for their happy-go-lucky personalities, Bichon Frise dogs are very sociable, even though they may bark at strangers.

2. Chihuahua

Small but terrible, indeed—Chihuahuas are the perfect lap dogs and targets for smoochy kisses. They are very loyal, charming, and have a "big-dog" attitude, as said by the American Kennel Club.

3. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

This big-eyed and floppy-eared beauty won't ever say no to cuddles, and they will easily melt your heart with their loveable personality.

4. Shih Tzu

Shih Tzus are adorably small, but they are also very affectionate, especially towards children. They can just chill on your laps while you are watching TV.

If you can't decide between labrador retrievers and poodles, then Labradoodles will definitely give you the best of both worlds. They have a people-pleasing, easygoing, and affectionate personality that's perfect for big families.

9. Boston Terrier

Boston terriers were initially bred to be fighters, but they are actually one of the sweetest and gentlest breeds in the dog world. They are even dubbed as "American Gentlemen" because of how they look like they're wearing tuxedos because of their black and white coloring.

10. Pugs

If you want a dog that will spoil you with lots and lots of kisses, then go for a pug!

Dogs are really a gift to this world, and we truly can't imagine life without their presence, even if we don't necessarily have them as pets. Nothing truly beats the power of a dog's affection and charm in making our worries go away—even if it's just seeing a photo of them on our screens!
