Icelandic Sheepdog
Introduced to Iceland by the Vikings, the Icelandic Sheepdog has a soft, straight, and fluffy coat, which naturally comes with a bit of shedding.
If you don't mind sweeping up behind these cute pups you'll enjoy how clever, and playful they are.
Cocker Spaniel
Another Spaniel on our list is the Cocker Spaniel! Although it's popular as a children-friendly dog, it actually has the perfect temperament for adults.
It does require a bit more grooming than other breeds we mentioned, but Spaniels are so lovable that their owners just take it as more quality time.
Scottish Terrier
If you're looking for a dog that will keep you active, a Scottish Terrier could be your new workout buddy. It's a fan of long walks, not so much fast running though.
This breed adjusts well to apartment and house living, and don't let their size fool you — they make for good guard dogs.
Basset Hound
Basset Hounds are easygoing and affectionate, and once it falls in love with you it'll be shadowing you closely. Don't let their 'down' face fool you, these pups are fun and playful.
Be sure to get your Hound enough exercise because Bassets tend to put on weight which isn't healthy for any dog.
