Mutts (SRD)
The Mixed-Breed (SRD) is undoubtedly the face of the country, with mixed breeds dominating the entire national territory. It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t remember a street dog, whether from the family, the street they live on, a neighbor, or a friend.
Stray dogs have become a national heritage – let those caramel-colored ones tell you! Friendly, family-oriented, and full of energy, they are the favorite companions of Brazilians.
Shih Tzu
The runner-up in popularity has a flat face, almond eyes, and a beautiful long coat. Recognized as an excellent companion dog, it’s a favorite for those living in small apartments – and it hardly barks.
Great with children and highly intelligent, the Shih Tzu is an increasingly popular breed due to its gentle and friendly temperament.
Yorkshire Terrier
The pronunciation of the name may challenge many, but when it comes to dealing with them, it’s a super easy dog to handle. Its appearance resembles a plush toy, immediately showing that the Yorkie is very cute.
Super active and playful, dogs of this breed are very attached to their families and often take time to accept the presence of strangers. However, once they do, they easily gain another fan in their fan base.
Poodle
It always appears on the lists of the most popular and can be found in various sizes – from mini to jumbo. The French-origin dog has been successful worldwide, and its “wool coat” is a trademark.
The Poodle usually has a good average life expectancy and stands out as a cheerful, obedient, and curious dog who loves to lick its human parent.
Lhasa Apso
The fact that the famous Lhasa Apso is technically neck and neck with the Poodle in terms of popularity is already a big deal, considering its companion species’ face has been known here in Brazil for a longer time.
Its toy-like appearance and size melted the hearts of many pet lovers, making it highly sought after. Always happy to play, this little guy loves to bark and be invited for a walk in the street.
French Bulldog
Another flat-nosed favorite of Brazilians, and its popularity has been growing year by year. It has a bossy way, especially with other pets, but nothing that good socialization can’t solve.
The French Bulldog is super affectionate with its family and knows how to use its laconic appearance to score some coffee during the day. Even its clumsy manner has won many admirers for the pet.
Pinscher
The “feisty” one has a fixed place in the hearts of Brazilians and continues to be a very popular dog breed in the country. Its small stature and great courage make the Pinscher a “crowd-pleaser.”
Adorable, active, and always vigilant, this little guy doesn’t go unnoticed and is always willing to protect its human family – after all, it’s a guard dog! You know?
Golden Retriever
The first big one on the list is popular for its gentle personality and “easy” dog demeanor. It gets along well with children, the elderly, other pets, and likes to interact with everyone.
One of the smartest in the breed, it is highly sought after as a guide dog for police and rescue services. It’s the ideal dog for those with a busy lifestyle, as pets require a lot of energy in their daily lives.
German Spitz
Its fame started recently, but we can confidently say that this is not a “summer hit,” and the German Spitz (or Pomeranian) will appear on the list of the most popular dogs for many years.
Breed enthusiasts love to emphasize that Furry loves to play as much as it loves to cuddle on the couch and that pets are great companions for children.
Maltese
One of the oldest breeds in the world has been successful in Brazil for a long time and closes our list of the top 10. If it was once used to catch rats, today the fluffy one is considered a companion dog and is very playful.
Now that you know which dog breeds are the most popular in Brazil, share it with your contacts and adopt your little pet!
