— Meet the Top 40 Dogs of Edmonton, Class of 2020
Pembroke Welsh Corgi / This fun loving bossy-pants is the life of the party, as long as there are treats around. You’ll hate to see her leave, but love to watch her walk away.
Whoodle / The all-black look can be intimidating, but this dog is nothing but colourful. A social butterfly with a high drive to learn new tricks, he may be the smartest dog on the block.
Shih-poo / Overcoming a health condition is never easy, but when Scout found out he needed to wear pants everywhere he didn’t let it slow him down. Now all the dogs are jealous of this K-9 fashion icon.
Pug / With cuddles that mend any wound and a lick that cleans any plate, this dog is as close to a superhero as you’ll ever see. Look out bad guys, because his signature move against evil doers is a devastating sneeze to the face!
Yellow Lab / Living in a winter city means we could all use more Summer. This absolute ray of sunshine will warm more than your heart, especially when you find out she flunked out of service dog school for being too nice. Swoon!
English Bulldog / The English aren’t exactly known for being excitable, but this bulldog bucks the trend. No amount of cold could keep her from saying hello to anyone she can get that tongue on.
Border Collie Bernard / This WHARF rescue dog’s love of people and bunnies makes her a serious flight risk, but she’s bound to find love wherever she wanders. A thick-furred doggo who will chase your car and catch your heart.
Shepherd Pitbull / Originally from Maskwacis and the Samson Cree Nation reserve, you couldn’t ask for a more loyal friend. It’s clear to see why her new family immediately fell in love.
Dalmatian / You might have seen this tasty dish all wrapped up and cruising down 82nd. She’s the Queen of Whyte Ave and – just like the meal – she’s sure to hit the spot.
Wheaten Terrier / It can’t be easy being such a pretty boy, but this rugged beauty has two personalities. Challenge him at the dog park and you better be ready to wrestle like a Royal Rumble.
Pembroke Welsh Corgi / A Golden Girl in look and attitude, this lusty southern belle is clever and cuddly. If you give her a treat she’ll thank you for being a friend.
Havanese / Guaranteed to melt your heart, this little pint of sweetness is as soft as soft serve. With two full scoops of cute, she might be the only dog at home in a cone.
Cairn Terrier / As a doggy empath, protecting her mom’s mental health is her number one priority… fetch is a close second. This pup also has a keen “shit detecting” radar that can detect a lousy person
from blocks away.
Gerberian Shepsky / The shy wolf with a never-ending smile. This athletic dog acts tough, but will quickly find a spot behind your legs
when something spooks him. A real sweetie-pie.
Giant Schnauzer / This girl has the personality to match her giant status. Not one to sit still, Scout likes to be on a mission – particularly if
the objective is finding snacks.
Yorkie-Poo / A lady who knows what (and who) she likes. Named for the god of mischief, she’ll cause all sorts of trouble if you give her a long enough leash.
Boston Terrier / As unique has her champagne colour, for Nila it’s all about that ball. And the snacks. And that BALL! And those off-leash parks. AND THAT BALL!
Labrador Retriever / Like his namesake, this pup is a heartthrob. If you’re looking for kisses, you’ve come to the right place. That tongue can give more licks than Johnny Castle has moves.
Havanese / Sure, he’s named after Calgary Flames legend Jarome Iginla, but don’t hold that against him. This 6-month-old pup will cross-check you in the face with cuteness.
German shepherd mix / With ears like satellite dishes, you’d think this dog would be a better listener... But when you’ve got uncontrollable puppy energy life becomes all about those treats.
French Bulldog / Sure, Bentley looks tough, but he’s more in touch with his emotional side than any other dog in the park. This rambunctious ball of energy has us saying “Oui!”
Australian Labradoodle / This dog commands attention. But unlike Churchill, this Winston is a lover, not a fighter. He’ll happily roll over, provided there’s belly rubs involved. We’d follow this dog into battle anyday.
Spoodle/Beardie-Shih Tzu / Have you ever seen an angel without wings? This rescue must have been sent straight from the heavens above to snuggle her way into the hearts of anyone she meets.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel / With very enthusiastic welcoming skills, Wiggly Wrigley is the exact opposite of a guard dog. She’s more
likely to snuggle burglars than stop them in their tracks.
Maltese / Why look up at the clouds when this tiny, shy cloud of a dog is at your feet. This low flying floof is on a strict schedule of eight beauty naps a day, and it shows.
Zuchon (Shichon) / You would definitely want these Teddy Bears to crash your picnic. Cuter than PB & J and twice as sweet, this duo promotes wellness without even trying!
Terrier X / Growing up on the mean streets of Houston, Charles Dogwin clearly has plenty of brains. An overachiever with an underbite, his evolution is now complete as a handsome therapy dog.
Golden Retriever / Sir Elton Dog has a charismatic smile that will have you singing a happy tune and wanting him to hold you closer. Plus, he’s talented enough to wave to all of his adoring fans at the dog park.
English Mastiff / At 145 pounds of dog and 5 pounds of slobber, this gentle giant demands your attention by sheer size alone. If that doesn’t work, his handsome face will have to do, because big bois need love too.
Brussels Griffon / Like her namesake, this little wookie is the best sidekick a Jedi could ask for. In fact, she’s so clingy that you’ll never have a chance to be (Han) solo again.
Bernedoodle / As a dapper outdoorsmen, Roo-Roo spends a good part of the day having sticks removed from his fur. When it’s time to come inside, he cleans up nicely and becomes Mr. Congeniality.
Chihuahua / A tiny dog with Big Dog Energy. How do you say no to those luminous eyes asking you to play? The answer is, you don’t: Melvyn is in charge!
Basset Hound Border Collie / This full stack of pancakes is stubborn like a basset and frisky like a border collie. You don’t need syrup with a dog this sweet.
Wheaten Terrier / No extensions here, those lashes are all natural. A self proclaimed Wheaton “terror”, this ball of fluff plays by her own rules. That includes wiping wet paws on human pillows.
Goldador / A newly graduated dog guide, Cynder has a four-year-old BFF named Jones that she joins on adventures every day. The calm to his wild, this working dog is a true hero sidekick.
Miniature Schnoodle / The physical embodiment of a cardigan sweater, this pup is serving us some serious old man vibes,
complete with daft forgetfulness, a love of naps, and daily anxiety pills.
Golden Retriever / Living for snacks, this golden boi possibly has the most boopable nose of any dog around. This energetic pup will retrieve anything you throw, but don’t expect to get any snacks returned.
Schnoodle / There’s something dangerous about a dog that knows he’s this handsome. As a natural leader, this pup will keep his word and is happy to shake (a paw) on it.
Shepnees / Chill AF, this big 110-pound boi lives for naps, pets, and back scratches. Tucker loves long winter walks, but might ask you to fireman carry him home when he’s tuckered out.
Miniature Dachshund / Even from that low to the ground, this dog will still look down on you. She’s entitled, discerning and regal, but will pledge absolute loyalty to those she loves. Very hoity-toity and proud of it.
