Malamutes may look very similar to Huskies, but these dogs are a great breed of their own. According to the American Kennel Club, they're affectionate, loyal, playful, and sizable — they get up to 85 pounds.
These small, graceful dogs may be known as the "barkless dog," but thanks to their defined faces, they're known to have almost human-like emotional expressions, the AKC says.
This is a "high-energy breed with a need for regular mental and physical stimulation," Pet Finder notes. They need a jog or a vigorous play session daily.
These pint-sized pups are great for apartment living and can weigh as little as two pounds, Hill's notes. Although they're technically lap dogs, Chihuahuas like to stay active and keep themselves occupied.
Both the Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi have adorably pointy ears and an even more endearing personality.
Possibly one of the most iconic pointy eared dogs, German Shepherds are strong, athletic, and intelligent working dogs.
The Papillon's most distinctive feature are its big, upright ears which make their name — French for "butterfly" — the perfect fit.
While they get much bigger than a rat, Rat Terriers typically max out around 25 pounds. The name comes from the fact that they were bred to kill rats, according to the AKC.
