    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.

Megan Uhrich, a strategic growth director, knew from the get-go that her future groom Daniel Henriquez, a video producer and director, was exactly the partner she would want in her life when they connected back in June 2015. Their initial greeting, however, actually happened by chance. While visiting family in Seattle that summer, she decided to catch up with a college friend who asked to bring a coworker along when they got together. "I was sitting outside his hotel in my rental car, talking on the phone to my best friend (and co-maid of honor) when she realized I had stopped listening to her," Megan recalls—she saw Daniel walking by and immediately wished they could meet. Luckily for her, that is exactly what happened mere moments later. "As soon as I started describing him to her, I turned around and realized he was getting in my car along with my college friend," the bride shares. "We went all around Seattle that night and had dinner and visited some great cocktail bars—including Bathtub Gin Co. He made quite the impression on me that night and we started dating a few months later when we were both back in D.C."

Fast forward three years later: The couple had their eyes set on walking down the aisle. They talked in depth about getting married, and Megan designed her engagement ring, so she knew the proposal was coming. Daniel planned to pop the question during their trip to Ireland in April 2018—as it was their first trip there, Megan reconnected with distant relatives in the area, and the bride is also a competitive Irish dancer—so everything aligned perfectly for the destination proposal. "We were going to be spending some time in Donegal and I wanted to go to the Slieve League Cliffs, which are the highest accessible seaside cliffs in Europe and had been recommended by Megan's close friend, Catharine," Daniel says. The groom even hired a photographer to capture the moment he got down on one knee. The only catch? Daniel made the wrong turn on their drive to the site and they ended up in an entirely different spot. "Fortunately, I had my drone with me, and I used it to capture our engagement moment," he said. "It all really worked out wonderfully, because we were the only two on top of the cliffs, so it was really beautiful and intimate."

They drew inspiration for their wedding at Antrim 1844 from other sentimental trips: their annual vacations in Paris, France. "We used autumn tones, seasonal fruit, and macaron favors to decorate guest tables with classic café-style seating," Courtney Pino of Abby Garden, their creative director, florist, and planner, shares. On November 16, 2019, in Taneytown, Maryland, Megan and Daniel welcomed 143 guests to transport them to a French paradise and celebrate their nuptials.

Blushing Bride

Megan wore a vintage, romantic-style Annasul Y. wedding dress with layers of lace, a low back, and a fit-and-flare design. The couple's venue actually inspired the choice. "I tried on many dresses and liked several before we picked our venue," she says. "Once we picked Antrim 1844 as our venue and the theme started to come together, I knew I wanted a more romantic dress, instead of the more modern ones I liked previously."

Dressed to the Nines

Daniel wore a classic black tuxedo from The Black Tux along with a Mont Blanc watch. The latter holds sentimental value for the groom. "[My dad] gave me the watch before he passed away in 2013," he says. "Before that, he wore the watch on a constant basis. It means a lot to me."

"The bridesmaids wore French blue dresses in their choice of silhouette," Megan shares of The Dessy Group gowns. "I wanted them to wear something simple, classic, timeless, and let them choose the silhouette so they could be comfortable." The groomsmen all wore classic black tuxedos from The Black Tux.

A Loving First Look

Before seeing her groom for their first look, Megan had one with her parents. "I'm so close with both my parents, so doing a first look with them was so fun," the bride recalls. "I was so excited to see them and infinitely more nervous to see Daniel—we hadn't seen each other since the rehearsal dinner the previous night."

Daniel noted that he and Megan wrote personal vows for their ceremony. "In a conversation I had with my late dad a long time ago, I asked him, 'How do you know when you find your person?'" the groom shared in his vows. "He said, 'You'll know because it will feel easy.'"

Megan and Daniel shared their first dance surrounded by their loved ones—and recommend that any soon-to-be newlyweds take as much time as possible with their family and friends on the big day. "If you have a large wedding like us, this will likely be the only time you get to have everyone you one love in one place," the couple shares. "Create as many opportunities as you can to soak up those moments with them."
