    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.

Anna and Sean

anna-sean-mwds109848-107.jpg

Although Anna and Sean's introduction at California State University in 2008 was high impact ("We were in the same marketing class, and from the moment I first laid eyes on him, I was crushin'!" says Anna), their subsequent dates went nowhere. "Still, every year, he'd email or connect via Facebook and ask to catch up over dinner. I declined at least four times," she adds. The Golden State natives finally clicked in October 2011 when the persistent suitor had Anna over for prosciutto tortellini. By January, they were engaged, and five months later said their I do's in the herb garden of the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, a two-hour drive north from their Los Angeles home.
