The Pekingese is a breed of dog originating from the nobility of China! They were very popular back in the 70's and 80's here in Brazil. This is one of the smallest breeds in the world, averaging 20 cm!

Thus, its popularization was due to its size, its courageous and cool behavior. Which can sometimes be a problem, as he might want to tackle bigger animals!

In addition, it adapts super well to smaller environments, such as apartments and houses without a backyard! He looks like a little guard lion!

This is an example of a dog breed that was popular in the movies! During the 90s, with live action, the Dalmatian was super high, being one of the most sought after by people.

However, thanks to his very agitated behavior and the constant need to exercise, he ended up being less remembered by tutors. Especially for people who live in apartments.

By the way, both the appearance and behavior of the Dalmatian is adorable!

Now another example of breeds made famous by movies and television series. The German Shepherd dog is distinguished by being considered the third smartest dog in the world.

Thus, he is a dog that needs a lot of activity, both intelligence and physical. That is, it is a breed that demands dedication and attention from tutors.

In addition, to raise a German Shepherd, it is necessary to have a large space.

That's because this is a large dog with plenty of energy, even more so as a puppy. This made them stop being popular dogs as they used to be.

The Basset Hound is one of the most popular breeds of dog, but which today has also lost favor with owners. Famous for their funny appearance and drooping eyes, they are ideal dogs for children.

The Basset is sociable, cheerful and friendly, in addition to having one of the best noses among breeds. That's because it was used to fetch the hunts of the European nobility.

In addition, he is a lazy dog, who loves to be petted and laid down. So if you're currently looking for a Basset, you'll have a good couch mate!

The Saint Bernard is known for two reasons: for being a care dog and for the famous Beethoven movie, from the 90s. Thus, in the old days, this was one of the most popular dog breeds among pet tutors.

However, both its large size and its excessive price quickly led tutors to give up the idea of acquiring a dog of this breed.

On the other hand, the Saint Bernard is a calm, playful, friendly and very intelligent dog. Incidentally, he is known as a babysitter for his immense patience. Thus, for those who have children, this breed is a great option.

In the second half of the 90's the Siberian Husky, a dog originally from the Russian region that gives it its name: Siberia!

Thus, it is very curious that a dog from an extremely cold climate became one of the most popular in the old days.

But, this is probably due to its calm, elegant, and snow wolf-like appearance. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Husky is a sociable, playful dog that loves affection.

In fact, it is necessary to provide moments of entertainment for this pet, which, being adventurous, has the need to spend its energy on a daily basis. 

The Collie breed was one of the most popular in the old days, both in the 40s and again in the 90s. This is due to the fact that this dog was used in the famous film “Lessie”.

Incidentally, one of the reasons for the Collie's popularity to have fallen nowadays was the high demand and prices for the breed's puppies.

On the other hand, this is a Scottish hound that needs space and time to play and exercise. That's because, it's a large dog, with a lot of energy and joy.

One of the favorite dogs in the early 2000s, the Poodle has several subtypes that were successful in the past. The affordable price and ideal size for small spaces were reasons that led to this status.

Thus, the Poodle is a dog that has a charming coat, all in light curls over its body, which allows it to assume different looks.

Also, although they only appear to be a companion breed, the truth is that they are considered the second most intelligent breed.

However, the Poodle needs to have fun, with games, attention, affection and physical and intelligence exercises.

Another of the most popular old-time dog breeds on this list is the Chihuahua! This is a breed that was also very famous for its presence in movies and their relationship with rich girls.

Its very small and quiet size, it was quickly adopted in the early 2000s. An ideal option for those who live in apartments and want an animal that is companionable and very playful!

Finally, after having several appearances in the movies, the Doberman dog has become one of the most popular breeds in the past. Also considered one of the smartest and most elegant breeds among dogs.

However, the excessive energy of the breed and with more and more people living in apartments, made the Doberman less popular. Despite this, this is a great breed to have around as a faithful friend!
