      Sizes and energy levels range widely in this group. The Dalmatian is the tallest and arguably the most energetic, although the diminutive Schipperke is pretty high-energy, too. Standard and Miniature Poodles find themselves in this group along with the American Eskimo Dog, which comes in three sizes: the toy measures between 9 and 12 inches, the miniature measures between 12 and 15 inches, and the standard measures between 15 and 19 inches. These dogs are friendly, intelligent, and playful, and they also make good watchdogs. If you don’t mind a lot of hair, you might consider an American Eskimo Dog.

      Bulldogs consistently rank among the AKC’s most popular breeds. They may look gruff and tough, but they are really lovable family companions. They don’t need much exercise, so they’re a good choice for apartment living. Because of their short noses, they can overheat easily and may suffer from heatstroke; in hot weather, take that walk around the block early in the morning or in the evening when it’s cooler. Bulldogs have short coats, so grooming is simple, but those wrinkles need daily care. Some Bulldogs have an elongated palate, which can make breathing even more difficult, and they are prone to eye diseases and subject to bloat.

      Toy Poodles are 10 inches and under at the shoulder, while Miniatures are more than 10 but less than 15 inches at the shoulder. Poodles in all three varieties are intelligent, playful pets who can conquer just about any dog sport, from retrieving ducks to obedience and agility to dock diving—and everything in between. Don’t be put off by the show clip—you can keep your Poodle in a modified puppy clip. Poodles don’t shed, which is part of their popularity, but you will need to visit a groomer every four to six weeks or learn to clip your dog yourself. Health concerns include hip dysplasia, bloat, progressive retinal atrophy, Addison’s disease, Cushing’s disease, and hypothyroidism. A Poodle’s lifespan is fourteen to eighteen years.
