If you’ve been thinking about getting a puppy then you’re not alone – the Kennel Club says the number of people welcoming new dogs into their homes last year soared by around eight per cent.
But with 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your perfect pup.
9. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Every bit as loving as they look, the loyal and affectionate Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is another dog that will follow you around the house.
10. Dachshund
If you have a Dachshund you'll be in no doubt that you are their favourite person in the world. They'll happily spend hours asleep on your lap or on their back enjoying an extended tummy tickle.
