An odd-looking specimen, the Brussels griffon often finds itself on lists like this one due to its uniqueness. These grumpy-looking dudes are incredibly easy to make into memes, and for obvious reason – if you look into the eyes of a Brussels griffon, it's unlikely you will be able to stop yourself from laughing. Still, the Brussels griffon is certainly one of the most fascinating blonde dog breeds in the world.

A little more golden and bronze than straight-up blonde, the Australian terrier is a relatively unknown dog which looks more like a cartoon pooch than a real one. With oversized and fluffy ears, small black eyes, and a tongue that seems to constantly be hanging from its jaw, these little doggos are absolutely adorable and deserve all the love they can get.

5. Chihuahua

Does anything really need to be said about the chihuahua? It's a tiny little dog with short legs and oversized ears, famous for being loud and having a curly tail. Yet, there's something charming about these little friends, which are small enough to fit into a handbag. They are friendly, funny, curious, and full of energy you wouldn't otherwise expect from something so tiny. Indeed, the chihuahua is a unique and popular blonde dog breed.

4. Chow chow

Chow chows are famous for their blue tongues and humongous manes of hair growing out from under their chins. They are medium-large dogs that can range in qualities from grumpy and quiet to loud and rambunctious. Most fall in the center somewhere, with personalities which are friendly, loving, and ready to play. While they come in a few different colors, the blonde chow chow is by far the prettiest of all.

3. Collies

Collies are some of the sweetest and smartest canines around and are endlessly full of energy, love, and joy. These fluffy friends are here to play, exercise, and cuddle, and we wouldn't have it any other way. They usually have a coat which features multiple colors or at least several shades of the same color, but collies that feature gold are – by definition – more golden.

2. Labrador

Not quite "man's best friend," but certainly getting close, the labrador is one of the most iconic, beloved, and well-known dog breeds in the entire world. These four-pawed creatures are happy to spend their time playing in the garden, hanging with the kids, and being lazy with the adults. In terms of their golden blonde coat, the labrador is iconic and second only, perhaps, to the golden retriever.

They are sweet, cute, friendly, and hugely huggable. There's truly nothing better than the golden retriever.
