So, if you’re a classic introvert who prefers staying at home with a good book instead of heading out to a party, there are certain dogs that should be at the top of your canine wish list. Here are the 10 dog breeds that are great for introverts:
1. Great Dane
Great Danes are gentle giants who don’t require much exercise or outdoor time. They’d rather cuddle up on the couch than socialize.
2. Basenji
The Basenji is most known for not barking (instead, they make a strange howling sound). They are also very independent dogs who enjoy having fun and aren’t demanding.
3. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a low-maintenance lapdog who’s happy to snuggle with you for hours.
4. Shiba Inu
The breed most cat-like in personality, the Shiba Inu is affectionate but also happy to have fun with their owners.
5. Greyhound
They can be fast, but apart from a quick run around the park, Greyhounds are happy to relax without making big demands on their humans.
6. Irish Wolfhound
The Irish Wolfhound is another dog that doesn’t require much space or attention. It’s happy to snuggle at your feet for hours.
7. Pug
Pugs are social when needed, but they are equally happy to ignore the rest of the world and snuggle with you on the couch.
8. German Shepherd
Another breed that forms a deep and intense bond with one person, the German Shepherd will make you feel loved and protected.
9. Chihuahua
A tiny dog perfect for introverts, the Chihuahua can go wherever you go and forms a strong bond with one person that will never be broken.
10. Basset Hound
The adorable Basset Hound was designed to stay at home and rest on the couch while you read a good book. They are perfect companions who ask very little from their owners.
