Full of style, medium-sized dogs are excellent for those looking for a faithful four-legged friend. Especially if you don't have room for a very large dog, but don't necessarily want a small pet!

To fit into this category, dogs must be, on average, 35 to 49 cm and weigh 10 to 25 kg. The breed options are countless, each one of them presenting its unique characteristics. So, do you want to get to know them better? That's what we'll see in this post! Keep reading and get to know some of the most beloved and sought-after breeds of medium-sized dogs.

Basset hound

Known for its friendly, long ears and downturned gaze, the Basset is amiable, calm and good-natured. This breed emerged in France and gets along well with children and other dogs, but needs constant exercise to stay in a  healthy vibe, living better in homes with backyards.

Its height varies between 33 and 38 cm, and the weight ranges from 20 to 30 kg. Despite the shorter and thicker legs, the Basset loves to sniff and hunt for things. It also tends to drool, due to the wrinkles on its muzzle.

Beagle

The Beagle is a happy, agile and energetic dog. Smart and even-tempered - if a little stubborn - he is courageous and has a very keen sense of smell. If you're looking for a friend to keep you company, know that this breed is super loyal to their owners!

Sociable, he also gets along very well with children and other animals, and needs constant exercise to release his  hyperactivity . This breed originated in Great Britain, its size can range from 30 to 40 cm, and its weight varies between 15 and 20 kg.

English bulldog

Strong, alert and courageous, the English Bulldog may seem angry, but it is super loving and docile with its owners, dealing well with children, adolescents, adults and the elderly. As this breed has a tendency to obesity, it is very important to walk him often. In addition, their skin is full of folds, which must be well cared for so that dermatitis does not develop.

This breed came from Great Britain. Its size varies from 30 to 40 cm and the weight is between 20 to 25 kg.

Chow chow

The Chow Chow has fantastic style! The soft and robust coat, resembling a lion's, and the blue tongue are unmistakable characteristics of this friendly companion. Independent, he can be alone for a long time and does not need to exercise daily. Due to his strong personality, he must be educated firmly — on the other hand, he is an excellent bodyguard, precisely because he is suspicious of strangers.

This breed originated in China. Its size ranges from 45 to 55 cm and the weight varies between 18 and 25 kg.

American Cocker Spaniel

The Cocker is playful, easily trainable and lives with people of all ages, due to its patience and kindness. This breed is also quite quiet, which makes it great for apartment dwellers. It is worth saying that they do not enjoy loneliness.

His spectacular coat must be brushed every day, and daily walks with him are essential. This breed originated in the United States, its height can range from 34 to 40 cm, and its weight, is between 10 and 15 kg.

Shar Pei

The Shar Pei's dented snout is unmistakable! Serious and independent, this breed has the self-confidence to envy. Even because of this, he doesn't usually get along with strangers and needs constant walks.

His skin folds need special care to avoid irritation, but he makes a great apartment companion—as long as he gets regular exercise. This breed also came from China, and its height varies between 40 and 50 cm, with a weight of 15 to 25 kg.
