3. Shetland Sheepdog

This breed may remind you of a miniature collie. The Shetland sheepdog was bred as a local alternative of the Icelandic sheepdog. The latter is commonly found in the Shetland Islands. These small spitz shepherds were later raised to give collies special qualities and features. The Shetland sheepdog is very energetic. It loves playing and the best place to keep it is the countryside. That’s a great pet for farmers.

4. Papillon

Look at those cute raised ears and you’ll instantly fall in love with this breed. Keeping a papillon at home is a real pleasure. People have had this breed around since the very 16th century. Papillons are sociable, active and easily trainable. This dog’s mental abilities are surprising too.
