You are looking for a dog, but find, for example, a Maltese too small and you don’t have the space for a very large dog. Then it is best to choose medium-sized dog breeds, such as a beagle or a shiba inu.
Definition of medium-sized dogs
By medium-sized dogs, we mean a breed that weighs more than 10 kilos and a maximum of 35-40 kilos. This is, of course, the weight of the dog when it is fully grown. The shoulder height of a medium-sized dog ranges between 30 and 50 cm.
A medium-sized breed: Beagle
A beagle is a very well-built dog. The breed will have much less chance of bone problems than, for example, a large Bernese Mountain Dog. A beagle is also a muscular breed, which reduces the chance of injuries. Moreover, a beagle is a true family dog that gets along well with children.
A medium-sized breed: Shiba inu
A Shiba inu is just like a Beagle a very well-built breed. It is a very smart breed that easily wants to play tricks with its owner. Therefore, always be correct with the upbringing. The Shiba inu is also very loyal to its owner. A dog you can teach a lot to. A Shiba is also very athletically built, so ideal for walking/jogging.
A medium-sized breed: Welsh Corgi Pembroke
A Welsh corgi Pembroke is a very social dog. Our Fons (the father of the puppies) immediately plays with any other dog or human. Due to the short legs, the breed is less suitable for very long walks. The Welsh corgi is the favorite dog of the British Queen. She has more than 15 Corgis, but she is not the only one who thinks this is a super breed. Visit a Welsh Corgi Pembroke and you will fall in love immediately.
A medium-sized breed: Cockapoo
The Cockapoo is the result of planned crossings. He is the offspring of the Poodle and the Cocker Spaniel. Also known as the Cockapoodle, Cockerpoo, or Cock-a-Poo. He is an extraordinarily cute little dog with a face that can melt a heart of stone. Moreover, he is in most cases a hypoallergenic dog: this means they do not shed and are a perfect dog for people with allergies.
The average size of a cockapoo is 35 to 38 cm and with a weight of about 10 kg, small enough to cuddle and large enough to romp with larger dogs.
A medium-sized breed: English Cocker Spaniel
The English Cocker Spaniel is a vigilant, sturdily built, medium-sized dog with long ears. They are between 36 and 41 cm tall, with a weight between 12 and 16 kilos. The English Cocker Spaniel is a strong, energetic, cheerful, sweet, and affectionate dog. This lively dog is an excellent companion for children but does not tolerate bullying.

The Lagotto Romagnolo or Italian water dog is a water dog originating from Italy. The shoulder height of the Lagotto Romagnolo is between 40 and 50 cm. They will weigh between 11 and 16 kilos.

A medium-sized breed: Pomsky
The Pomsky is a small to medium-sized dog that falls in size somewhere between the Pomeranian and Siberian Husky. There is some variation in size, as the breed standards are not firmly established.
