Our tips on personalities of dog breeds
Labrador Retriever – Labradors are sociable, people-focused dogs that thrive on interaction and approval. They are eager to please, highly trainable, and emotionally resilient, making them ideal for families, assistance work, and owners who enjoy daily engagement.
Golden Retriever – Golden Retrievers are gentle, affectionate, and emotionally intuitive. They form strong bonds, tolerate noise and handling well, and excel in calm, structured homes where companionship and routine are prioritised over intensity.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – Cavaliers are affectionate companion dogs that crave closeness. They are sensitive, calm indoors, and happiest when included in daily life, making them well suited to quieter households or owners seeking a lap-focused, emotionally connected dog.
Bichon Frise – Bichons are cheerful, adaptable dogs with playful yet balanced personalities. They enjoy human attention without being overly demanding and often cope well with routine changes, provided they receive mental stimulation and gentle training reinforcement.
German Shepherd – German Shepherds are intelligent, loyal, and purpose-driven dogs that form strong protective bonds. They require structure, mental challenges, and confident leadership, thriving in homes where training and clear boundaries are prioritised.
Beagle – Beagles are curious, scent-driven dogs with friendly but independent personalities. They enjoy companionship but are easily distracted, requiring patient training and secure environments. Their playful nature suits active homes that can manage their strong instincts.
Poodle (Standard, Miniature, Toy) – Poodles are highly intelligent and emotionally perceptive, adapting well to training and complex routines. Their sensitivity means they respond best to calm communication and mental stimulation.
Husky – Huskies are energetic, free-spirited dogs with strong independence and low desire to please. They require experienced owners who accept selective listening and focus on structured exercise rather than strict control.
Pug – Pugs are affectionate, people-obsessed dogs that thrive on closeness and routine. They suit quieter households and owners who value companionship over athletic performance or intensive training.
