Scroll down to find out Britains favourite dog breeds

But there's more to this pup than just cuteness.
She doesn't shed at all, making her an absolute dream for allergy sufferers and clean freaks alike.
Honey is a Pomapoo, a cross between a Pomeranian and a Poodle, and she's got nearly 30,000 fans swooning over her cuddly good looks.
With her tiny size and teddy-like fluff, it's no wonder the internet has fallen in love.
One TikTok user gushed: 'So cute!'
Another dubbed her: 'the most perfect dog.'
Others chimed in with 'Looks like a teddy bear' and 'She's unreal.'
Pomapoos are what's known as a "designer dog".\
They're a mix of two breeds, combining the smarts and low-shedding coat of a Poodle with the playful, outgoing personality of a Pomeranian.
The result is a clever, affectionate little companion who loves cuddles as much as a game of fetch.

Standing just eight to 12 inches tall, Pomapoos are perfect for flats or houses alike.
But don't be fooled by their tiny size, they've got big personalities and love being the centre of attention.
Honey's owner shared her adorable antics on TikTok, showing her prancing around like she owns the place.
But while this mix is winning fans left and right, not everyone in the dog world is sold on the poodle cross trend.
One dog groomer has warned that these 'doodles' – crosses like Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles and yes, Pomapoos – can be a bit of a nightmare if not properly cared for.
Emma Badgley, a professional groomer, says many owners underestimate just how high-maintenance these breeds can be.
'Doodle owners are often clueless about the grooming needs,' she moaned in a post on Quora.
'Some of the most matted dogs I've ever seen have been doodles – and trying to groom them when they're knotted and wriggly is seriously stressful.'
She added that big poodle mixes like Goldendoodles and Saint Berdoodles can be especially tough, because they've got the energy of a toddler and coats that demand constant brushing.
Even smaller breeds like Pomapoos aren't completely fuss-free.
If they inherit the Poodle's curls, they'll need regular grooming to stop their hair turning into a tangled mess.

And that's not all, some popular breeds like Huskies, German Shepherds and Newfoundlands were called out for being 'anxious' and 'a lot of work' by the same groomer.
So, while Honey might look like a living teddy bear, there's a bit of effort behind the fluff.
Still, if you're ready to commit to grooming and want a cute, clever, and snuggly sidekick, a Pomapoo could just be your perfect match.

In response to a comment that read: 'Best bras I've ever worn, just got a second one, threw my old bras out,' Hannah held up the CURLADY Women's Comfortable Push Up Bras and beamed: 'These are SO comfortable ladies. Game changer. You need to try!' She then said: 'I had to get some more of these bras - these don't feel like you're wearing them, I don't go to sleep in bras, I never do that, but this bra I accidentally went to bed in it because I forgot it was on, that's how comfy it is. 'There's no digging, there's no wires, just pure comfort.' Now, Hannah has the purse-friendly bras in three colours - chocolate brown, black and nude. 'I needed some more, because I needed other colours to go under other tops,' she continued. There's eight colours to choose from, but that's not even the best part, as Hannah gushed: 'If you're worried about it not fitting, it does come with a back extender.' The CURLADY Women's Comfortable Push Up Bra is available to buy from TikTok Shop from sizes S to 3XL. Hannah, who is a size 12/14, confirmed that she buys the wireless and seamless bras, which have amassed an average rating of 4.5 out of five, in a size XL. 74,000 of the full coverage bras have now been sold and while they were once priced at £23.98, they have since been reduced by 50% off and are now down to only £11.99.

Another added: 'These bras are amazing. And I HATE bras! I have seven of them now.' Top bra tips Fabulous' Deputy Fashion Editor, Abby McHale has shared her tips for keeping your bras looking their best. 1. Don't wash your bras in the washing machine on their own, this is how your wiring will get damaged. Instead either wash in a pillowcase or take them in the shower with you and wash as you would your body. 2. Always start on the loosest hooks for your back, that way as the bra is worn more and the elastic stretches you can tighten it up with the tighter hooks. 3. If you wear your bra two to three times a week then it should last between six months to a year before you need to replace it. 4. You should always be able to feel your bra throughout the day, if you don't it means it's not doing its job properly. 5. It's actually the band across the back that keeps your boobs upright and not the cups itself. A third commented: 'I'm pregnant in the third trimester. These bras are an absolute godsend, so comfy!' Not only this, but someone else gushed: 'These are the best bras ever!!! I got myself all the colours! So comfy.' Whilst one fashionista explained: 'I bought one to try and was absolutely delighted. And the back extender was a bonus.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club

But social media users were keen to share their suggestions of how they would have transformed Medina's shed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DIY enthusiast has given her grubby, spider-ridden shed a mega makeover without breaking the bank. Now, Medina Grillo, who is known on social media as 'Grillo Designs', has a bright and beautiful summer house that's perfect for hanging out in. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A DIY fan has revealed how she transformed her messy shed into a stunning summer house, all whilst staying on a budget Credit: tiktok/@grillodesigns 2 Medina Grillo also shared the cheap B&Q buy that was a must for brightening up the once very dark space Credit: tiktok/@grillodesigns So if your shed is a dumping ground full of rubbish, but you're eager to transform it into the perfect book reading space for sunny days, then you've come to the right place and will need to listen up. Posting on social media, Medina gave her followers a close-up look at her "tiny" shed prior to its overhaul into a jaw-dropping summer house. But what was once a dumping ground, packed with tins of paint, garden bits and even a bike, has now been given a fresh new look - and we think it's super impressive. Showing off the shed's step-by-step transformation, Medina said: 'First I moved all the garden stuff into this large storage container, then I cleaned - there were so many spiders.' Following this, she added: 'I spray painted the inside white to brighten up the walls, next I remove the weeds from the pathway - not a fun job but it had to be done.' To add colour to the summer house, the content creator used the Rust-Oleum Chalk White Matt Multi-surface Exterior Topcoat Paint, which you can buy in a small 125ml tin from B&Q for just £4.50. Once painted and the weeds were removed, she explained: 'I kept the inside of the summer house pretty minimal with an outdoor rug, this gorgeous wooden bench, a picture frame, some cushions, a side table, and I also added some outdoor plants around the door.' Thrilled with the finished summer house, Medina continued: 'The result is a peaceful corner of my garden that I can now enjoy, what do you think?' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @grillodesigns, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has racked up 121,900 views, 4,516 likes, 111 comments and 378 saves. Social media users were impressed with Medina's stunning summer house overhaul and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. I'm a single mum sick of soft play costs so turned my shed into a mini one One person said: 'This is such a good idea!' Another added: 'Love this so much!' The white really made it look finished, and I love the hanging pot TikTok user A third commented: 'It's so cute!' Meanwhile, someone else simply penned: 'Perfection.' Do I need planning permission to convert my shed? CONVERTING an existing shed or outbuilding into a self-contained living space will usually require you apply for planning permission. However, there is a "loophole" Brits can use to convert outbuildings into a tiny home without permission. Planning expert Martin Gaine from Just Planning warned the conversion process is far easier than you may think. Speaking to The Sun, the Chartered Town Planner of 14 years' experience explained: "An outbuilding can be built using 'permitted development rights', meaning it does not need planning permission. "As long as you comply with the various restrictions and conditions." One of these is that the outbuilding can only be used for something 'ancillary' to your main living accommodation - examples include storage, a gym or a pool room. If the outbuilding is existing, converting it then into primary living accommodation IS allowed. Martin explained: "This is because internal changes to an existing building are not considered to be development at all under the Town and Country Planning Act. But like anything, there is one catch. The new living accommodation must still have some connection with your use of the main house. For instance, if your gran is living out there, she must still come into the house to eat. Whilst another beamed: 'How perfect to enjoy the garden in the rain! The white really made it look finished, and I love the hanging pot.' But at the same time, others were keen to reveal the changes they would have made to Medina's shed. I would put a mattress instead of the bench TikTok user One user wrote: 'I would put a small soft sofa with mini paintings and tiny plants or maybe a small fireplace.' A second chimed in: "I personally feel it would be more cosy and space savvy to put floor pillows instead of a bench for seating?' And someone else shared: 'I would put a mattress instead of the bench.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club
