Best Lapdogs 2023: These are the 10 adorable dog breeds who will snuggle up on your lap for hours - including the loving Pug 🐕

If you are looking for a dog that will love nothing more than curling up on your lap for hours on end, these are the breeds that should top your wishlist.

The last few years have seen many of us welcome a new four-legged friend into our homes, as the Kennel Club has dog ownership soar to record levels.

But with 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your perfect pup – whether you want a large dog, family-friendly dog, or crossbreed.
