9. Irish Wolfhound
The tallest of dogs, the Irish Wolfhound is a large, heavy athlete that is “gentle when stroked, fierce when provoked,” according to the AKC. Considered an excellent family companion, this enormous dog needs more room and more exercise than the smaller canine breeds. If you’re looking for a lot of love, the Irish Wolfhound is for you!
10. Papillon
Considered one of the smartest dog breeds, the Papillon is a deceptively excellent watchdog and constant companion. These diminutive but brave creatures are often described as big dogs in little bodies, which means your adorable butterfly-eared canine can keep you company at home or on the go all the while making it known that they are ready to protect you against anything big or small.
