Easily find contact with people: top 5 most affectionate dog breeds

Probably, many dog owners want to have a real pet: affectionate, cute and problem-free.

But each breed of dog has its own characteristics, for example, there are guard dogs, service dogs, guide dogs, hunting dogs and others.

Such dogs are simply trained and educated for specific needs: to help, search, hunt, guard.

Naturally, instincts come first, not emotions, so it is impossible to imagine a domesticated shepherd or Great Dane. Without training, such a dog is even dangerous.

Which breeds can be called the most affectionate?

Labrador Retriever

This is probably an exception to the rule when a large dog can become a favorite of the whole family.

His main focus is as a guide dog, but he gets along well with every member of the family, plays with children, and is positively disposed towards communication with other animals (cats, rodents).

The only thing is that the dog is big, which can scare a very young child (up to 7 years old). Therefore, a representative of this breed is better suited to a family in which the children are already schoolchildren and know how to properly handle the pet.

Maltese

This is charm itself: the dog is beautiful, smart and affectionate. You want to carry it in your arms, stroke it, talk to it. Even just looking at a lapdog is a pleasure: it usually has a soft elephantine shade and expressive eyes.

This breed is unmistakable. Of course, there are some disadvantages, for example, you will have to regularly resort to the services of a groomer.

Otherwise, the appearance of the lapdog will be unpresentable. By nature, she is a real lady: aristocratic, elegant, smart.

Attached to the owner: loves to play with him, communicate, sit on hands. The main thing is that she cannot be left alone for a long time, otherwise the dog will become sad.

American Eskimo Dog

This breed is also called a "room dog" or "companion dog".

The Spitz is active, inquisitive, has a cheerful disposition, loves active games, walks and entertainment, as well as physical exercise.

But you need to take the dog's upbringing very seriously: if you miss something, he will easily subjugate the owner. Spitz are leaders by nature, so you should not indulge them.

Pomeranian Spitz

Another charming pet that will quickly become everyone's favorite. Outwardly, it resembles a fox, especially in its muzzle and color.

The character is something between a choleric and a sanguine person. The Pomeranian is playful, energetic, sociable, easily gets acquainted with other dogs, and is affectionate with children.

But he is brave and noisy: at any potential danger (even imaginary) he begins to bravely defend his owner and bark loudly.

Pug

Many people perceive representatives of this breed as some kind of oafs: clumsy, slow, awkward, prone to obesity. But this is only an appearance.

Pugs are very lively and playful, they enjoy being in the company of people and other animals, they are sociable.

The distinctive feature of the pug is its artistry. It can tumble, grunt, sniffle, and sometimes even make faces. In short, you will never be bored with them.
