    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.

There's a lot that goes into choosing a wedding venue, but space and scenery tend to be the two primary factors that couples weigh most heavily. Since gardens generally offer both, they're a popular big-day venue choice. With their own natural décor and unique landscapes, they make it easy to design a ceremony and reception on their grounds. That's why we found some of the country's best garden wedding venues, which vary in style but are all undeniably beautiful.

No matter where you plan to wed—north or south, east or west—we've got you covered with our list of wedding-worthy gardens in the United States. While you may associate garden celebrations with springtime, these venues aren't limited to one season. Thanks to their versatile facilities, most are available throughout the year. If that's not exciting enough, many also come with planners, caterers, and more to help your event go off without a hitch. The important thing to note is that these garden venues aren't all the same layout-wise. Some differ in size and the types of plants that are growing there, while others double as sculpture parks, vineyards, resorts, or historic landmarks. There are places set inland, and some on the water, and their vibes range from elegant, to tropical, to romantic, to rustic.

Set your wedding at one of the garden ceremony and reception spaces ahead and you're basically guaranteed a stunning party full of flowers, greenery, and love. Once you're there, be sure to stop and smell the roses—beauty like this deserves to be appreciated, and you'll deserve the downtime after organizing your nuptial affair.
