1. Labrador Retriever
According to Danspetcare.com, the most popular dog in the world is the Labrador Retriever. “They are often used to provide comfort and security to anxious humans.”
They are also ideal family pets as they are protective while being gentle and patient with children.
2. Golden Retriever
Goldens are very intelligent and helpful dogs. They have been trained to detect narcotics, rescue crisis victims, and provide emotional support in stressful situations.
3. German Shepherd
“German Shepherds have proven to be ideal dogs for home protection – they are loyal, territorial, and powerful. Today they are ideal police and military dogs,” stated Danspetcare.com.
While they can also be family pets, they are happiest when given an active job to do.
4. Poodle
For allergy sufferers, poodles’ coats are often less irritating than those of other breeds. However, poodles need a good trim every one to two months.
“Despite the stylish haircuts they sometimes sport, poodles are among the smartest and hardest-working dogs on the planet,” said experts at Danspetcare.com.
5. Chihuahua
Chihuahuas tend to be divisive dogs. Some people love them while others can’t stand them.
Although they can be aggressive towards people and other dogs, chihuahuas are typically affectionate towards their owners and have big personalities in a small body.
6. Beagle
Among the oldest dog breeds, Beagles were originally used for hunting in packs, and their current personalities reflect their past.
Despite being small, Beagles are classified as hunting dogs and, like all hunting dogs, they have exceptionally sharp eyes and noses.
7. Yorkshire Terrier
Famous “Yorkies” tend to become very attached to their owners. This means they are excellent company when you are at home but get very anxious when owners are away.
“For this reason, Yorkshire Terriers often do best when kept in pairs so they can keep each other company when needed,” stated Danspetcare.com.
8. Dachshund
Dachshunds are similar to hunting dogs in many ways and were bred to track scents, but they also love to dig and their feet are specially designed for this purpose.
Dachshunds are known for stubbornness, loud barking, and distrust of strangers. While these traits can sometimes be challenging, they also mean that Dachshunds make excellent small guard dogs.
9. Boxer
Boxers are highly intelligent, excellent with children, playful, and protective. Males weigh between 29 and 36 kg, so Boxers are among the largest dogs on the most popular list in the world.
10. Bulldog
Despite their short legs, calm English bulldogs are still muscular and athletic and enjoy regular exercise. They are sociable and pleasant but also known for their determination and stubbornness.
