Top Fluffy Dog Breeds

Who can say no to sweet cuddle sessions with a fluffy doggo? Fluffy dog breeds are always a hit because of their appearance and personality. Their mere presence and company are major stress-relievers after a long day. 
 
Grooming them and cleaning up their fallen hair will require more effort, but the joy these furballs bring more than makes up for it. Besides, we have dog brushes and pet hair vacuums to rescue us.

Fluffy dog breeds vary not only in size but also in personality. Some are sweet and friendly, while others are jealous and finicky. Some are calm and intelligent, while others are mighty and majestic with heroic potentials.

If you also find fluffy dogs irresistible, you’ve come to the right place! Here’s a list of top fluffy dog breeds you can choose from.

Cute Fluffy Dog Breeds

Let’s start with the ones that’ll make you go, “Aww.” Any of these small fluffy dog breeds can be your best furry friend for life.

Pomeranian

Pomeranian
I remember Jeffree Star and his new baby Pomeranians, Dessert and Dominatrix. Pomeranians are double-coated, toy-sized balls of fur. They’re active, naughty, and despite their size, they have a big personality.

Training Pomeranians take time, and they require more grooming because their topcoat sheds often, but their loyalty and eagerness to please their favorite human make them worth it!

Poodles

Poodle
Poodles are the only dogs that come in standard, miniature, and toy sizes. These cute, curly-haired dogs are fun to groom and can sport different haircut styles. They don’t shed much, so they have to be bathed frequently and clipped every two months, tops.
 
Poodles are highly intelligent, so they’re fun to train. They can be stubborn and noisy when they find something that piques their interest, but their bad behavior can be quickly tempered by mental stimulation and exercises. Poodles are a joy to have!

Shih Tzu

Shih Tzu
Shih Tzus’ hair can grow long, but you can keep it short of making them look fluffy and smooth to groom, mainly because they don’t shed much. They’re active, full of energy, and tend to act dominant when not appropriately trained.

Shih Tzus love a good playtime, especially when there’s company. They’re good-natured dogs with a quirky side that can always make you laugh.

Chow Chow

Chow Chow
Chow Chows look like little lions because of the fur behind their head. These arctic dogs tend to be aggressive and protective when there are strangers around. They project independence, and it’s hard to train them when their owner is too passive.

It’s best to acquire Chow Chows when they’re still young so you can train them early and help them be more accepting toward strangers. Adopting older Chow Chows are only good for owners with more experience.

Yorkshire Terrier

Yorkshire Terrier
The Yorkshire Terrier breed is the smallest dog breed with a maximum weight of 7 pounds. These sassy dogs enjoy the spotlight. They love showing off their personality, which makes them entertaining. When in the mood, they’re not a stranger to being quirky and silly.

Yorkies carry with them an abundance of love with a hint of jealousy. They’re very particular with who can get close to their owners and can be unfriendly to strangers. They’re also compassionate and responsive to little noises.

Giant Fluffy Dog Breeds

Now, let’s move on to the big fluffy dog breeds. These working dogs are good to have around whenever you need an extra pair of hands… or paws.

Leonberger

Leonberger
Leonbergers are both significant in size and goofiness, which makes them challenging to train. Despite being fun and silly, they have ways of showing endless affection to their human family.

These doggos are intelligent, so with good training and exercises, they can learn plenty of tricks that can make them stand out in competitions. Not only that, but Leos can also become search and rescue dogs because of their powerful nose and amazing swimming ability.

Newfoundland

newfoundland
Newfies are part of the large fluffy dog breeds. They can weigh up to 155 pounds and stand up to 30 inches tall. Just like Leos, these working dogs are great swimmers who can perform rescue missions.

These fluffy gentle giants are highly intelligent and calm, which makes them ideal for individual therapy. They show great affection and loyalty to their family. A little heads-up, though: they drool and shed excessively.

Bearded Collies

Bearded Collie
Beardies are lively and happy giants. They are knowledgeable; so much so that they quickly get bored. Without adequate exercise, they tend to bark, dig, and chew things a lot. Most intelligent but under-stimulated dogs develop bad habits.

Bearded Collies enjoy being around their human family, and they like working, which is why they are bred for herding and are considered as shepherd dogs in Scotland. This breed requires daily grooming, and removing their hair from mats and rugs may take time.

The Great Pyrenees

The Great Pyrenees
The name of this breed is well-earned. These white fluffy dog breeds are also physically strong and massive. They weigh more than 100 pounds and can stand up to more than 30 inches tall. They’re known to be calm and devoted to their owners, which makes them very protective.

The Great Pyrenees are also called Pyrenean Mountain Dogs, and like Beardies, they’re powerful herding dogs. Their agility helps them gracefully and speedily attack threats. It’s hard not to fall in love with this majestic breed.

Malamute

Malamute
Another energetic working breed, Malamutes are bred for sledding and hiking through the arctic. This breed can very well represent the family of sizeable fluffy dog breeds.

Like domestic dogs, Malamutes can be quite a handful. They love chasing and digging, and they shed a lot. It’ll take time to put their stubbornness under control, so if this is your first time owning a dog, Malamutes might not be the best choice.

However, if you are an experienced dog owner, you can train a Malamute to be a fantastic family dog. They’re friendly, patient, and sturdy, so they’re great at playing with kids.

Dogs are man’s best friend. Whatever breed you choose to own, we know you will have a companion for life. May you soon find your furry love.
