Doris Day And Meryl Streep – Poodle

Poodles are loyal, intelligent, easily trainable, alert, and active. They are also brilliant, really receptive to tricks and commands, and quick to bond with people. With their distinctive haircuts, poodles have a canine grooming routine that is intensive. Therefore, it is no surprise that people love to own fiercely loyal and beautiful dogs. Two powerful actresses are members of the love-poodles club, Meryl Streep and Doris Day. The late singer would arrive on the set of her movie Pillow Talk with Smudge, her poodle. Streep also brought her dog, Michael, to the set while shooting for her film Little Women. Her co-star, Saoirse Ronan, talked about it in an interview.

Cher – Akita

Hachiko is about the famously loyal Akita in Japan who waited at a train station for his human to come home from work for nine years. The dog’s owner had died, but Hachiko continued to wait for him. It is not a surprise that this breed of dog is one of the most loyal ever. The Akita is alert, powerful, and large, with a heavy bone. Goddess of Pop Cher had an adorable Akita called Kuma, but he passed in the early 2000s. The Believe singer was really in love with her smart and beautiful dog. There is a framed picture of him on her tabletop. Isn’t that adorable?

Similar to the Spitz-type, the Pomeranian comes from the region of Pomerania in north-east Germany and north-west Poland in Central Europe.

Maltipoos are also great for families with children or single elderly. In Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s household, there used to be a Maltipoo named Wolf, but the little one passed away in 2020. Wolf had brought the couple a lot of joy and even had an important part in their marriage ceremony back in 2008.

Elizabeth Taylor – Maltese

Like many people, Elizabeth Taylor was also a big dog fan and considered her pet Maltese her best buddies. Her favorite was her adorable pooch Sugar, who passed in 2005. Elizabeth had two other pets, Daisy and Delilah, who stayed with her until she passed away in 2011. It is no surprise that she loved the Maltese since the breed is known for being sprightly, vigorous, a great companion, and a therapy dog. Maltese dogs are excellent at dog sports, excelling in agility, rally, obedience, and tracking. The furry four-legged creatures also adjust well with different people, given their friendly nature.

Sylvester Stallone – Bullmastiff

We’re not sure if dogs resemble their masters, but we do know that some owners choose dogs according to their nature. Sylvester Stallone decided to get a Bullmastiff and considered Butkus, his best friend. The pair both embody startling physical strength. Though not as large as the Mastiff, Bullmastiff dogs can stand up to 27 inches at the shoulder and weigh from 100 to 130 pounds.

An ardent animal lover, Brigitte Bardot fought for animal rights. Most of her pictures from the ‘50s and ‘60s show the beautiful actress cuddling her pets. She had a Cocker Spaniel whom she called Clown. A bird dog at heart, the Cocker Spaniel, is a beloved companion for many people. The dogs have a gorgeous golden mane look and an amenable, cheerful disposition which makes them perfect for most families. The clown always kept Bardot company in her many journeys. Clown probably loved to snuggle up as Cockers Spaniels are incredibly people-friendly and great snugglers.

Doris Duke And Jackie Kennedy – German Shepherd

American billionaire Doris Duke wore many hats – a tobacco heiress, art collector, horticulturist, socialite, and philanthropist. She was often called “the richest girl in the world.” She had immense wealth and a luxurious lifestyle, but there was also an air of mystery surrounding her. Even after her death, she continues to intrigue. However, her being a dog lover is a well-documented fact. She even set a trust fund for her dogs. She really liked German shepherds, who guarded the Falcon Lair estate. The dog breed is incredibly loyal, which is why many famous families choose to have German Shepherds.

Margaret Thatcher – Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Margaret Thatcher, the late UK Prime Minister and famously known as the Iron lady, was a huge fan of dogs. According to the National Purebred Dog Day organization, she owned different breeds of dogs.

Prince William And Kate Middleton – English Cocker Spaniel

This medium-sized dog breed has a cheerful disposition. The “Cocker” in English Cocker Spaniel comes from the dogs hunting woodcock in England. However, these dogs are also used for other types of birds. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge think of their Cocker Spaniel as their eldest child because they got the dog before they had children. Now, that is sweet! Therefore, the royal couple was heartbroken when their dog passed away in 2020. Cocker Spaniels make great companion dogs for people if the furry creatures get the exercise that they need.

Humphrey Bogart And Lauren Bacall – Boxer

These Hollywood legends loved the Boxer breed, which is typically medium to large dogs with a smooth coat and is very upbeat and playful.

Pit Bulls have a lot going for them, such as their tenacity, gameness, and courage. Nevertheless, they are great companions for humans, always showering their humans with love and affection. Pit bulls are also full of happiness and joy and have a puppyish demeanor.

Her daughters probably miss the Bichón Frisé too. This dog breed is cheerful, small, and always up to different mischiefs. However, they are very giving dogs. Their fluffy white coat and black beady eyes make them look like an adorable child’s toy. They are very appealing since their perky and friendly disposition enhances their looks. They often get mistaken for white Poodles, but the looks and disposition of the Bichón Frisé are starkly different.

Audrey Hepburn – Yorkshire Terrier

Audrey Hepburn became famous for her flawless sartorial elegance and impeccable acting skills. Her love for animals is also well-known. She had a Yorkshire Terrier whom she named Mr. Famous.

We all know about Humphrey Bogart’s love for Boxers, but his love for dogs extends to other breeds too. When he met the Newfoundland named Cappy, the star had dog-love at first sight. He hit it off with the furry creature, and his family later followed suit. A popular large and strong dog breed, the Newfoundland is capable and hardworking, with the ability to toil hard on both land and water. They are also pretty strong swimmers and are great for families due to their sweet nature and responsiveness. What’s more, their patient nature makes them excellent nanny dogs. Humphrey Bogart got a Newfoundland because the dog is an ideal company for his children, Leslie and Stevie.

Winston Churchill – Miniature Poodle

Looking at Winston Churchill’s legacy and arresting personality, you likely would not expect that he would choose a poodle for a pet. However, the former British prime minister actually had two brown miniature Poodles named Rufus and Rufus II.

Many people may think poodles are sissy dogs, but poodles are actually eager, athletic, smart, and versatile dogs.

A wonderful, bright, and sensitive dog, the Pembroke is really receptive to training and loves hanging out with its human family. Also, they are fearless, independent and are great examples of vigilant watchdogs. If a Pembroke is trained well, it will be a loyal and loving pet. No wonder the adorable short-legged charmers have enamored Queen Elizabeth.

Queen Victoria And Prince Albert – Dachshund

The royal couple is known for the love they shared for dogs. During Queen Victoria’s 64-year reign, the monarch and Prince Albert had many pets, and the Dachshunds Waldman and Waldina were two of them. We think the personality of these dogs drew the Queen. Dachshunds are pretty vibrant, and if a tiny pooch that will shower you with unconditional love and keep you on your toes is what you’re looking for, then this breed may be perfect for you.

Marie-Antoniette and King Louis XV’s mistress, Madame de Pompadour, was incredibly fond of the famous Papillon, a fashionable dwarf spaniel. Measuring just under afoot at the shoulder, the tiny dog has wing-shaped ears, making it easy to spot the dog a block away. The breed’s name, Pappilon, actually means butterfly in French. These dogs may be small, but they are anything but tiny in terms of their activities. Never shy when it comes to joining the family fun.

The fashionable dog is quite loyal as well.
