8. Standard Schnauzer
Known for its endearing and distinctive whiskered snout, this dog is most at home in the country or the suburbs where there is room to run and play. This breed typically lives for between 13 and 15 years and does well with children and adults. A little once a week combing is the main grooming task, though some owners like to take their Schnauzer to the groomer two or three times a year for a trim.
