I was blessed with the world's gentlest little papillon. Taken from a home breeding situation by animal control and picked by me to live the best life he could ever have. He lived to be 19 -15 of those years in his forever home with me. Miss his itty-bitty paws and sweet little face. ❤️
Team Shih Tzu! 🐾🐾 I've had many dogs and tzus are unlike any pup I have ever had. My two girls are so extremely loving and catch on to things fast. They are also so gentle and playful with kids!❤
Nikki S Shoh Tzus are the best! 💕 We have a year old one after losing ours of 16 years and I would never have anything but. They are darling and smart!
I agree I have had four little Yorkshire terriers and everyone just want to be hugged and cuddles and they all whimper/whimpered if they could not sleep on you.All of them gentle in nature and they all would go bonkers when they see me for me bestest little guys ever :)
@@budgielover922 I think they were going with pure breeds, it's horrible that irresponsible people are mixing more and more breeds, creating more possible health issues and then charging people who don't know any better ridiculous amounts of money for a dog that is essentially a mutt, I have two mutts, most of my dogs have been mutts and they're the best but these breeders want to refer to them as designer dogs, ummm noooo, they're mixed, hence a mutt.
My Shih Tzu is so laid back, I joke its like having a stuffed animal. Don’t get me wrong, I get him riled up to play. He sits quietly in his car seat, I take him shopping and nobody even knows there is a dog around because he is so well behaved. He will bark to let me know if someone comes onto my property or if I ignore him to long when something is really important to him, but that’s about it. He loves everybody and all other animals, especially cats. I don’t know why, but he is obsessed with cats.
I have a 3 year old shih tzu and he is the most sweetest dog l ever met. He likes to takes naps with mama (me) and he loves to play with my daughters and two cats we have.
I have a long hair Chihuahua , is most sweetest dog I have ever seen and loves everyone I really think it's the way people raise their dogs to that makes them so people person. He loves hugs and loves to sleep with us my husband loves him too. He has never met a stranger . We take him everywhere. But they are very needy dogs I need lots of attention, hope you have lots of time 😁
My little girl a Mini Foxy X Shih Tzu rescue dog is perfect. With me most all the time, loves cuddles but loves playing with me outdoors too. She is very social and just loves kids and babies. I hit the jackpot with this little mate.
don't forget to check out the health issues associated with some of these breeds! Not all of them are going to be affordable in the long term for a senior or young family
Cavaliers are the best! We are so gentle with children. We're up for anything they want to do, whether it's running and playing or just relaxing around the house. Love In, Love Out.
I have a papillon and she loves to cuddle, and loves to play. They are smart and one of the most well behaved dogs. They are easy to train and so So sweet! Very loveablel !! 💞
We had a shih tzu/maltese, Nuedle. He was an amazing little guy who was so good with all the grand kids. We were really blessed to have had him for twelve years.
I have Cavachon - mix between Cavalier King Charles spaniel and Bichon . The gentlest dog I ve ever encountered . He melts everyone’s heart . I never knew such dog personality even exist though I was always a dog person.
I'm a dog trainer for about 15yrs now and I have trained most breeds and have owned a cavalier. I must say the cavaliers are the most gentle loving breed.
Yes I have to say Maltese are great companions, I had one she was all of 4.5 lbs. lived 23yrs. Passed away last yr. 1 day after Thanksgiving. They are high maint. But no shed,loveable ,and easy to train ". See you in Heaven Daphanne ".
All of these dogs are sweet, loving companions!!! I can't believe that you didn't include the Boston Terrier tho. My son has one and he is a sweet, cuddly lap warmer but also sturdy and playful enough to be a great companion to my grandsons. They are very smart and easily trained as well.
What about Yorkie??? Or a Maltese? I have had both of these breeds they are amazing, can be a bit stubborn but are very loyal dogs! :) props to my 10 week old yorkie pup sitting right next to me on the couch :)
I have a yorkie and a maltese. Both very good dogs. I cant imagine any dod being. Kinder and sweeter than my maltese. The yorkie though has a mind of his own. And is the boss as he was here with me longer than the maltese
Do you mean Papillon?My one could stand on her hind legs.Left her with a young family and think she fretted and died suddenly.She was my best mate.😢Irreplaceable
I had a male Cavalier King Charles (RIP) and have a female Shih Tzu. Both are kind, loving, friendly and gentle companions. My Cavalier wagged his tail for all his almost 12 years. Now my Shih Tzu, once independent, follows me everywhere. Part of my bedroom closet is now her Condominium 😂
I always loved Snoopy when I was little, then I grew up and discovered Beagles bark alot! Basset Hounds are the sweetest of the hounds. He has never barked at me.
I would add Cavalier/poodle mix..cavapoo and cocker and small poodle mix..cockapoo! I have had cavies..they are angel dogs. I have a cockapoo now..she's no angel..but she makes us all laugh all the time..and loves to play with kids! When mixed the cavalier a heavy shedder..is almost if not totally non shed!
Shih Tzus also shed less than others on the list. Havanese are also marvelous, friendly small dogs that don't shed like the others. I want a Norfolk terrier but would have to travel across the Irish sea to get one!
I’m a dog groomer and over the years have had lots of experience with all small dog breeds and I have to say out of all the breeds King Charles cavaliers are the most even tempered and the only breed I never had any problems grooming I not once ever met an aggressive cavalier
before watching the entire video, I thought "oh this will be just another video where small terriers will be overlooked" my childhood pet and dog of 15 years (he sadly passed away 2 years ago) was a Cairn Terrier / Jack Russel mix, and though CRAZY, (seriously, I could write a book about his antics) the most loving family dog. active, smart, strong-willed, and very loyal. if I'd get myself a dog now, however, I'd get a norfolk terrier since their size makes it easy to take them anywhere!
Dachshunds are big cuddlers too and very friendly and gentle. They're a little on the mischivious side but they thrive on attention and love to be around the people they trust.
Miniture Schnauzer's and Schnoodles by far are the best but do need groomed about every 6 weeks. Absolutely adorable, make great companion dogs, are quiet and loveable. Schnoodles are all that plus really intelligent, healthy, loves to wear doggie clothes in the winter, calm, aren't snappers or biters, are totally loyal. Great dogs for Seniors!!! Not a protection dog though, as they are very social and love people, kitties and plays well with other dogs. My favorites of all medium small dogs!
I even have a shih tzu :) He’s a very old man, and the only things he does all day is eat and sleep on the couch. I think when he was born he was already retired.

I have a shih tzu and he just loves everyone and every dog
Lazygirl 22 i have a shih tzu and she only loves me literally dont get me wrong, i like her that way.❤️
My shit tzu is 12 years old. I have had him for 9 years
Funny videos daily awww. Mine was 1 at Halloween and I got him 28 December 2017 but he wasn’t a present we were meant to get him later
@@amy1x He is very playful and is really my companion. His lifespan is 12-16 years
Me too mine only barks when it needs something or sees a stranger and plays with the other dogs in the neighborhood
I liked the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, very adorable doggie.

I love my shih tzu. He’s the best dog I ever had.
Mine too! Such a lovey dovey.
i think yorkies needed a spot in this video. my boy is the sweetest he sleeps by my side and waits for me to wake up. he’s such an angel.
brenda isel 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
brenda isel I agree I own a cavalier yorkie mix and she is the sweetest ❤️❤️
brenda isel my maltipoo does the same
I was waiting for this comment
I agree
I have had four little Yorkshire terriers and everyone just want to be hugged and cuddles and they all whimper/whimpered if they could not sleep on you.All of them gentle in nature and they all would go bonkers when they see me for me bestest little guys ever :)
The King Charles Spaniel is so gentle and sweet. Loves cuddling!
Jaimi Cottrill ❤❤❤
I have a black and tan called Ava🐶
This list left out the Maltese. They’re intelligent, gentle, sweet and love to be close to their human.
My neighbor next door and across the street have one. They're very affectionate and playful.
Carol Lynch yup they also left out the Maltipoo which I have which is a malt ease cross
I AGREE WITH YOU
Maltese are lovely! I would be happy just getting them for the rest of my life.

As a shih tzu owner for more than 14 years, these are great family dog. Highly recommend
Cavaliers and Papillon!! 😍😍😍🐶🐶

We adopted two shih tzu mixes from a shelter and they both have the sweetest disposition and are great companions.
grat2010 ❤❤❤
Seeing as how I want a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, I am incredibly happy they're on this list
You must get one; they are absurdly sweet. You also get the added bonus that people gush on how cute your dog is.
Best little doggos. You wont regret it
Shih Tzu are the best. I have one. And he is so cute. 😘😚❤❤❤
I can definitely attest to the beagle and the Pug. I’ve had both and both are very gentle, loving and super cuddly!!
Shona Osmond love my Puggle!
I adored my Puggle. He passed away a year ago. 💔
I have a 3 year old shih tzu and he is the most sweetest dog l ever met. He likes to takes naps with mama (me) and he loves to play with my daughters and two cats we have.
I never met a Shih Tzu that wasn't a gentle lap dog! My favorite!
Cavalier king charles are the best 💗😍

3: Shih Tzu
I HAVE A SHIH TZU...And actually I can tell his personality.
Playful, Funny, Cuddle monster, Barks, Likes everybody, And pretty...Bad....
I have 5 shih tzus .. theyre a handfull of cuteness 🥰
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is the best dog😍❤
We had a shih tzu/maltese, Nuedle. He was an amazing little guy who was so good with all the grand kids. We were really blessed to have had him for twelve years.
I just have to say the ShihTzu. I had one over 18 years, she was so very precious. I miss her every day.
Iva Weatherford ,)
All dog breeds are Sweet and deserve to be love...
Go NUMBER THREEN AT 3:49 because I have a Shih tzu and she is the most amazing, beautiful, generous and gentle dog I have ever seen
Of all the dogs I’ve owned, my Maltese have been the most gentle.
I agree the Maltese are most gentle.
Cavoodle for sure and the King Charles Cavalier.
I have Cavachon - mix between Cavalier King Charles spaniel and Bichon . The gentlest dog I ve ever encountered . He melts everyone’s heart . I never knew such dog personality even exist though I was always a dog person.
Shih tzus ftw
French Bulldogs should be on this list! They're so loveable, and laid back. Love All ppl, especially children! I have two French Bulldogs!!🥰🥰
Pomeranian, they are the best!!!!!!! Just love them. 💓💋💓
Couldn’t agree with more on the shih tzu. Great first dog for any person or family.
The cavaliers are the most gentle, quite,loving,perfect dogs
Laura Canciu ❤❤❤
I'm a dog trainer for about 15yrs now and I have trained most breeds and have owned a cavalier. I must say the cavaliers are the most gentle loving breed.
Shih tzus are so sweet and gentle. I have a very active 18 month old son, and my brother's shih tzu absolutely adores him.
I have a Papillon and she is very sweet. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She does get overwhelmed by hyper kids and dogs.
And you need to teach kids to be calm and gentle.
Yes I have to say Maltese are great companions, I had one she was all of 4.5 lbs. lived 23yrs. Passed away last yr. 1 day after Thanksgiving.
They are high maint. But no shed,loveable ,and easy to train ".
See you in Heaven Daphanne ".
All of these dogs are sweet, loving companions!!! I can't believe that you didn't include the Boston Terrier tho. My son has one and he is a sweet, cuddly lap warmer but also sturdy and playful enough to be a great companion to my grandsons. They are very smart and easily trained as well.
Janus Loggins ❤❤❤
I can say that every BT I've ever met I fell in love with.
I totally agree! Bostons are the absolute best!!
I gave one to my grandson for his birthday this year! And he is a clown! Absolutely adorable!
I have 5 pugs and I love them so so much xoxo 😘
What about Yorkie??? Or a Maltese? I have had both of these breeds they are amazing, can be a bit stubborn but are very loyal dogs! :) props to my 10 week old yorkie pup sitting right next to me on the couch :)
I have a 10 week old female maltese
I have a yorkie and a maltese. Both very good dogs. I cant imagine any dod being. Kinder and sweeter than my maltese. The yorkie though has a mind of his own. And is the boss as he was here with me longer than the maltese
I have a cavalier King Charles and a pug and I find them both very affectionate,I wouldn’t change them for the world.
I have a small dog. She can be gentle, but she’s crazy. She’s my best friend though. I’ve had her since I was 5, and we do everything together!
My best friend has a maltese and omg he's so sweet and adorable
I have a shih Tzu and I love him xx
The two Papillons we've owned were very smart, athletic, and wanted to be on my lap or next to me at every calm moment, I.e. very cuddly.
Pugs are the very best!
Yeti and I just absolutely love your channel! Thank you so much for putting great doggies on here, with all the info.
Team cavalier King Charles spaniel 💖🌹✨
Thanks 🙏
Chihuahua gang
Bichon frisé are so friendly. Perfect for family.
Shih tzu woot woot!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
MsIndependent893 H. ❤❤❤
Love Papillons!
Good at agility too, very smart.
I have a cavalier King Charles spaniel x 1/4 beagle and he is the sweetest most gentle dog ever, who loves dogs, people and especially kids. 🐶
I think paillons are one of the best small dogs to have !!!! They love hugs,stroking and playing they literally never bark !!
Do you mean Papillon?My one could stand on her hind legs.Left her with a young family and think she fretted and died suddenly.She was my best mate.😢Irreplaceable
They are smart too.
I have a papillon and he has an overbite so his lips don’t touch and he’s so cute.
Easy to train and very protective but cuddly and loves people
I love shih tzu
I had a male Cavalier King Charles (RIP) and have a female Shih Tzu. Both are kind, loving, friendly and gentle companions. My Cavalier wagged his tail for all his almost 12 years. Now my Shih Tzu, once independent, follows me everywhere. Part of my bedroom closet is now her Condominium 😂

Miniature poodle. Smart and loving and great alert dog. Well, mine is.
I have a beagle when I give him a treat or something he takes it so gentle unlike my first dog.

Shih Tzus also shed less than others on the list. Havanese are also marvelous, friendly small dogs that don't shed like the others. I want a Norfolk terrier but would have to travel across the Irish sea to get one!
Shih Tzu ❤️
The absolutely most gentle is first the cavalier 2nd the
Pomeranian and the shi tzu and
4th is the beagle
Can you do most big gentle dog breeds?
I call big gentle dogs "Big Teddy Bears"
I’m a dog groomer and over the years have had lots of experience with all small dog breeds and I have to say out of all the breeds King Charles cavaliers are the most even tempered and the only breed I never had any problems grooming I not once ever met an aggressive cavalier
you've met an agressive shihtzu before lol?
@rottiefan 19 yrs bro? i woulda have gotten 2 more dogs by then but RIP
My Shih Tzu, Toshi, is the best dog I've ever had. He is #1 in my book, even over the humans in my life.
LOL same w my 3 yr old Leo i would literally take a bullet for him
Corgis 🤗

I have a papillon mix & he is very much a lap dog. Thank you for the information. Happy new year. God bless.
Debbie Ross Thank you very much 🙂 And a happy New Year to you.
My Frenchie is very sweet and loving. My kids absolutely adore him and he kindly reciprocates that affection.
I was thinking about the Cute French Bulldog!! They're so Stocky & Cute 😘

Shih Tzus are the *_BEST!!_*
I even have a shih tzu :) He’s a very old man, and the only things he does all day is eat and sleep on the couch. I think when he was born he was already retired.
