12 Long Nose Dog Breeds With the Most Lovable Snouts

The Borzoi were initially bred in Russia to hunt rabbits, foxes, and wolves, according to DogTime. They later became a favorite among aristocrats in Europe, thanks to their sleek and elegant appearance. These days, most Borzois would probably be pretty happy serving in the kingdom of your home — VetStreet notes that these dogs love spending time with family.

These dogs are often called Weiner dogs or sausage dogs, thanks to their long body — and they've got a long nose to match it. Dachshunds may be little but they have big personalities, according to the American Kennel Club. These dogs tend to be incredibly loyal and social companions who like spending time with their owners.

The stunning, silky manes of Afghan Hounds make them instantly recognizable — and a little high-maintenance. VetStreet notes that these dogs require a lot of exercise and coat care to stay healthy and happy.

The Bloodhound's nose is easy to miss, thanks to all those adorable face wrinkles, but it's actually quite long. It gives them a particularly keen sense of smell, which makes them especially valuable during search-and-rescue missions, according to DogTime.

Most people know Greyhounds as racing dogs, but these long-nosed, muscular dogs bring more than that to the table. According to DogTime, these dogs are friendly, loyal, and affectionate. If you live in a colder climate and decide to adopt a Greyhound, be sure to buy a jacket for him or her — because of their thin coats, these dogs get the shivers easily.

Much like Greyhounds, Whippets have long noses and sleek, muscular bodies. However, the American Kennel Club notes that Whippets tend to be smaller than Greyhounds, typically between 25 and 40 pounds. Although they need daily exercise, Whippets are usually pretty happy to curl up with you on the couch for long, lazy afternoons.

The Pharaoh Hound is one of the most ancient dog breeds, according to Pet Finder. In addition to a long nose, Pharaoh Hounds also have big, pointed ears — meaning they have excellent hearing. If you're searching for a new running partner, look no further: Pharaoh Hounds love to run.

AKC refers to the German Shepherd as "dogkind’s finest all-purpose worker," and it's hard to disagree with that characterization. These long-nosed dogs are generally loyal, courageous, and obedient, making them a great family pet.

Many people consider Dobermans to be tough or vicious dogs. Although every animal has its own unique personality, Dog Time notes that these long-nosed dogs actually tend to be gentle, watchful, and loving, especially around family members. Be ready to spend lots of time with your Doberman — they need lots of physical exercise as well as ample mental stimulation.

If you're looking for a high-energy companion, look no further. The Airdale Terrier is the largest of the terrier family and loves to play or run for hours, according to AKC. In addition to a long nose, these dogs also have long legs and a wiry coat that requires just a little bit of weekly maintenance.

Ibizan Hounds have a lot in common with Pharaoh Hounds, according to Pet Finder. Both have long noses and big ears, although the Ibizan Hound tends to be a little bit more timid when it comes to personality. While the Ibizan Hound might not snuggle up to strangers, they typically love spending time running around with their loved ones and chasing just about anything that moves.

Somewhere in the middle of their curly coat of fur, you might spy a cute long nose. Poodles are well-known for their distinctive coats, but this breed also tends to have a goofy, fun-loving personality and tons of energy, according to VetStreet.
