Every person has a different and unique personality which that there is no single dog breed that will be a perfect fit for everybody. Of course, you would always want one that will be able to jive with your activities and moods and not one that will annoy you and become a burden.
Here are some basics when choosing the right breed to go with your personality and activities:
Breeds for the couch potato: The English Toy Spaniel, Boston Terrier, Shih-Tzu, Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Spaniel, Afghan Hound, Mastiff, Sussex Spaniel, or Bulldog.
Basically, these are dogs that do not have a lot of energy to expend throughout the day. Exercise is not their kind of thing and they do not mind lounging around in the house or sitting beside you while you enjoy your favorite movie. They are the perfect companions when all you want to do is chill and relax.
Breeds for the sporty personality: Golden, Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, English Springer Spaniel, Labrador Retriever, Toy Poodle, Miniature Poodle and Papillon, or Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
These particular dogs are balls of energy and will playfully engage in intense activities such as jogging, playing catch and other things. If you want a less intimidating playmate though, the poodles can be a great alternative as they will always be ready for some fun under the sun and little game.
Breeds for those with children: Newfoundland, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Bulldog, Collie, Basset Hound, Standard Poodle, Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Scottish Deerhound, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and Bouviers des Flandres.
These breeds are perfect for families with overly playful but unaware children. They are gentle enough to keep your children away from harm but large enough not to be trampled on or abused. Also, they are relatively playful breeds which make them good playmates especially for families with just one kid.
Breeds for security: Doberman Pinscher, Rottweiler, Bullmastiff, Belgian Tervuren, German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, Boxer, Mastiff, Belgian Malinois, Canaan Dog, and Standard Schnauzer.
Obviously, these are the intimidating and large kinds of dogs and they are perfect for scaring away mischievous people. They are alert and have particularly strong senses which give them the perfect tools for catching those sneaky criminals.
Breeds that can be used as training partners: Golden and Labrador Retrievers, English Setter, Brittany, Weimaraner, Vizsla, Flat-Coated Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Basenji, Akita, Dalmatian, Norwegian Elkhound, Kerry Blue Terrier, Australian Cattle Dog, English Springer Spaniel, Welsh Springer Spaniel, and Irish Setter.
Again, these are all high energy breeds that will accompany you on strenuous or light training sessions.
Breeds for the beach: Labrador Retriever, Curly-Coated Retriever, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Otterhound, Irish Water Spaniel, Portuguese Water Dog, American Water Spaniel, and Newfoundland.
Dog breed such as the ones mentioned above are natural born swimmers so you will have no problems taking them to water bound areas. They are not afraid to get wet and will even play in the water with you.
