    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

The perfect engagement ring looks different to everyone. Some brides prefer multi-carat stunners, while others choose smaller, subtler iterations. Generally speaking, it all comes down to preference. There's another key element to factor in while diamond shopping: budget. Financial bandwidth varies as much those aforementioned preferences. While you don't necessarily have to sacrifice your engagement ring dreams when the budget is tight, you might, however, have to open your mind to new options—and these new options aren't lesser. Whether you choose a lab-made diamond over a natural stone, opt for a lower-carat (but still-sparkly!) diamond, or consider going the gemstone route, there's a way to make sure that your in-budget engagement ring is everything you've ever wanted.

Still not convinced? Believe us, the affordable engagement rings currently on the market will definitely surprise you. Just take the following options, all of which clock in under $1,000 (we're serious!). From more traditional offerings, like classic diamond solitaires and emerald-cut stones with pavé bands, to modern options, which involve pear-shaped sapphires and East-West moissanite rings, there's an affordable accessory ahead that'll speak to every bride-to-be, whatever her style. We were also sure to include a broad range of metals, cuts, and settings to cater to her diverse tastes.

Whether you're a future bride dreaming of the perfect ring or a future groom shopping for his wife-to-be, the following under-$1,000 engagement rings are a cut above the rest. When the time is right, you'll be ready to pop the question with a ring your love will undeniably say yes to—and one that won't break the bank.
