Personal Favorites
Personally, if I had to choose, the French Bulldog would undoubtedly be my top pick. Although French Bulldogs are not uncommon in Taiwan, their popularity is well-deserved. However, the humid climate in Taiwan requires extra care for these dogs. Nonetheless, any dog needs sufficient love and attention from its owner.
The Poodle, which ranked third, is understandably popular due to its endearing nature and is particularly favored by young girls. Lastly, the Shiba Inu, which topped the list, is no surprise given its enduring popularity among Japanese fans. Despite the rise of cat videos, Shiba Inu content remains a staple in the dog community.
