Updated on
Most dogs have a ton of fun and blonde dogs are no exception! Most people are aware of the classic blonde pooches like Labradors and Golden Retrievers, but there are more that you may not know about. Here, we go over a list of blonde dogs and give you a little information about each breed, as well. Enjoy!
The 17 Most Common Blonde Dog Breeds
1. Golden Retriever
The Golden Retriever might be the most well-known American dog that comes with a blonde coat. They are wonderful family pets who are full of energy and loyal to the core. They’ve also popped up in popular culture tons of times.
2. American Pitbull Terrier
While the Pitbull comes in many shapes and sizes, they are all lovable and loving, no matter what society tries to say otherwise. Originally bred to be a nanny dog, Pitbulls make wonderful companions and are great with kids, especially when raised together.
3. Bloodhound
Another recognizable breed, the Bloodhound will steal your heart with its mopey looks and wrinkled head. Even though these dogs can grow to be huge, they think they’re lap dogs!
4. Chesapeake Bay Retriever (Chessie)
The Chessie is an American classic, as it was one of the first dogs ever recognized by the American Kennel Club. They are known for the affection they will show you and your family, as well as the affection they show for jumping in a big body of water.
5. Australian Terrier
Don’t let their cuteness fool you—the Australian Terrier is a tough little dog! Known for being wonderful show dogs and their all-around cuteness, the Aussie also likes to hunt rats and snakes.
6. Afghan Hound
This is a regal breed of dog, highly sought after as show dogs. While they are obedient and smart, they sometimes prefer hanging out alone instead of with their human companions.
7. Chow Chow
Chow Chows are ridiculously cute and often described as bear dogs. This description might be more apt than you think; while some can be good pets, others can be territorial and rather aloof.
8. Chihuahua
This breed was all the craze in the late ‘90s. Now, they are enjoying life outside of fame, being cute as always.
9. Bull Mastiff
The Bull Mastiff can be quite an intimidating dog to look at. They were brought to America in the 1860s to be guard dogs, but nowadays, they tend to do better as cuddle buddies because they make wonderful pets.
10. Bichon Frise
Known for their wavy golden hair, this is one of the softest and nicest dog breeds that exist. They are perfect for apartments or single people, or just people in general.
11. Maltese
Hailing from Italy, this blonde dog has a contemporary flair with a touch of European romanticism. The Maltese is one of the most popular breeds in the world.
12. Cocker Spaniel
The Cocker Spaniel is a sporting dog who is wonderful with people and easy to have as a pal. As long as they are properly exercised, they can be one of the best pets for the home.
13. Barbet
With a dark blonde coat, the Barbet is similar to a poodle. Used as a hunting dog, this fluffball earned the nickname “Extremely Muddy” by the French for reasons you can probably guess. This breed is smart, so regular playing won’t do—they need something to stimulate their mind.
14. Vizsla
The Vizsla has been around forever (some say as early as 800 A.D.), and for most of their history, they have been used as hunting dogs. They make good pets, though you have to make sure that they get proper exercise daily.
15. Pharaoh Hound
The Pharaoh hound looks exactly like its name suggests—the two high-pointed ears resemble a crown. This is also an extremely fast and athletic dog breed. While these dogs make wonderful pets, they still have a great deal of hunter in them, so you’ll have to make sure they don’t go chasing strange animals!
16. Spitz
This breed looks like a fuzzier fox, but it definitely doesn’t act like one. These make great pets, but they do need to be watched around other dogs, as they can be quite aggressive.
17. Daug

This is a cuteness overload as the Daug is a mix between a Dachshund and a Pug. Taking traits from both parents, Daugs get the best of both worlds. They are super friendly and smart and have plenty of energy.
