We couldn't leave mixed breeds off our list. Most mutts are a scruffy pile of love. There are always adorable mixed-breed puppies and dogs available at local shelters. They come in all shapes, sizes, activity levels, and personality types.

Remember to leave a comment below about your experience with different dog breeds.
