American Curl

The American Curl matches #2 American Bobtail with a perfect dog-friendliness score of 5 and energy level of 3, but its unique curled ears make it 20% more photogenic according to owner surveys. This US breed lives 12 to 16 years and proves that quirky looks pair with deep affection. It is cheaper to groom than the average long-haired rival, requiring only weekly brushing, yet delivers equal snuggling warmth.
