17. Toy Poodle
The toy version of the Poodle is the smallest variant of the breed. However, that doesn’t mean that any of its original instincts aren’t there anymore. Although quite cute, poodles were originally bred to be hunting dogs, especially waterfowl. Their coats will keep them warm against the frigid temperatures in France so that they wouldn’t suffer from shock. This means that this breed requires a lot of exercise and mental stimulation in order to be happy. You can choose to keep this dog trimmed, or you can live with the responsibility of brushing this dog every day to keep their coat tangle-free.
