Alaskan Malamute

The Alaskan Malamute (not to be confused with the Siberian Husky) is bigger and built for endurance.

Basenji

Do you like cats?

If not, then beware the Basenji. He may look like a dog, but truth be told–he’s actually part kitty. And he flaunts his feline side shamelessly.

In fact, he’s got so much cat in him that this crazy breed refuses to bark! Yep, that’s right, he’s barkless.

On the contrary, most Bostons are sweet, cuddly, and clownish. They’re also eager to please and are very adaptable to their owner’s lifestyle.

Boxers are all about food and their unique personality won’t leave you indifferent. You’ll either love or…
