Best 15 Family Dogs
It is always hard to choose the best dog for the family, especially when you have to consider a few things that make your decision harder. Here are the best 15 family dogs that can help you in your decision:
- French Bulldog - This breed originally was bred as a miniature Bulldog. Because of their small size and low activity level, they are a great choice as apartment pooches. With their lovely personality, they love to play with their human parents indoors. They also make a great watchdog because they only bark if they are suspicious.
- Dachshund - This is the smallest sized dog from the hound dog breeds, and we can identify them easily by their tiny legs. Doxies are very friendly, curious, cute, and spunky pooches. Their small-sized legs allow them to do their daily exercises indoors when needed.
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - This breed is a real couch potato and loves to cuddle. Every time when they get a chance, the first thing they will do is to lay on your lap and beg for a belly rub. They get very bonded with their pet parents, and even a small apartment is just perfect for them. However, as a pet parent, you have to be very patient with potty training because this breed is very hard to train. If you give them plenty of outdoor activities, it turns out quickly they are trustworthy apartment dogs.
- Yorkshire Terrier - The teeny-tiny sized Yorkshire Terrier entirely fits into your purse. His coat, which is hair, not fur, won’t make you sneeze due to being hypoallergenic. But don’t forget that your Yorkie requires regular brushing and grooming in order to keep his coat silky and soft.
- Havanese - Havanese is not just a happy and playful furball, but he also has a silky, long, and non-shedding hypoallergenic coat. There is no other such a joyful feeling like when you can cuddle with your pooch without itchy eyes or sneezing.
- Labrador Retriever - Labs are sweet, lovely, and incredibly smart dogs, which makes them one of the most popular breeds in the United States. They are an excellent choice for those families who are looking for a large-sized, high-spirited, four-legged companion.
- Labradoodle - Labradoodle is often considered as a hypoallergenic dog because he is a crossbreed between the Labrador Retriever and the Poodle. You will be happy if you choose this breed because it shed and produces less of the stuff that could cause allergic reactions.
- Siberian Husky - This thickly coated, blue-eyed working pooch is a perfect choice for those families who are looking for a dog with an outgoing, loyal, and perky personality. This breed won’t let you become a couch potato, so he is the perfect family dog for a family with a backyard.
- Poodle - Poodles belong to the hypoallergenic breeds. Fortunately, that means you can choose even the larger standard, the miniature, or the toy Poodle to become your four-legged best friend. This is not only a hypoallergenic pooch, but the Poodle is also a very smart and easily trainable breed.
- Goldendoodle - This Golden Retriever and Standard Poodle crossbreed is considered as a hypoallergenic dog because he has hair as his coat, and not fur. If you choose to have a Goldendoodle as your new four-legged best friend, you are not only going to get an intelligent dog, but you won’t suffer from itchy eyes and sneezing either.
- German Shepherd - German Shepherd is one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States, due to many good reasons. This loyal, intelligent, and capable working dog is a perfect choice for families who are looking for a real guard dog that would protect his human family.
- Golden Retriever - This muscular, sturdy, and very intelligent dog is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. A Golden Retriever will never let his human family down. This is the perfect breed for those families who are looking for a highly intelligent and trainable dog.
- Great Dane - This breed is also known as Apollo of Dogs with his easy-going personality. This pooch is a great choice for families who are looking for a huge-sized dog, have a lot of free hours for the playtime and have a big backyard because this breed won’t fit into an apartment.
- Bernedoodle - There is no other such a fully-hypoallergenic dog like the Bernedoodle. This breed was bred to be an allergy-friendly pooch. This highly intelligent, anti-allergy breed will make you laugh all day long with his goofy and playful personality.
- Bernese Mountain Dog - This breed is considered as a good-natured and alert dog. They enjoy learning new things and have a high energy level. They are a perfect choice for families who are looking for a large breed and have a backyard.
