These are the 10 adorable dog breeds that thrive in heat and puppies that love long walks in the sun
A lot of us decided to welcome new puppies to our homes last year – according to Kennel Club the number of dog owners has climbed nearly eight percent – and demand for four-legged friends after the lockdown remains high.
There is a huge selection of 221 different purebred dog breeds to choose from, as well as plenty of crossbreeds, so there is a lot of thought to be done before selecting the latest addition to your family.
