Working in the veterinary field for many years, I encountered countless breeds of dogs. While I can agree that every dog, from the mangiest mutt to the tiniest teacup chihuahua, has its merits, I must admit I do have a few favorite breeds.My top five favorite dog breeds are:
1.English Bulldog
Friendly, dopey, and incredibly adorable, bulldogs are wonderful creatures. Blessed with a playful temperament and kissably wrinkly faces, bulldogs are easily distinguished by their unique features.
2.Blue Heeler
The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, has got to be one of the sweetest types of dog around. I have met plenty who have an outrageous amount of energy, but I have never met one that I didn’t absolutely adore.
3.Jack Russell Terrier
I was fortunate enough to grow up in a household that had this classic, loyal, and bouncy breed. Jack Russell Terriers may be small, but their hearts are big, and so are their brains; some of the best trained dogs in the world are Jack Russell Terriers.
4.English Mastiff
These gentle giants are some of the largest dogs in the world, but that won’t stop them from acting like a loving little lap dog. As sweet and good natured as English Mastiffs are, they also make excellent guard dogs with their protective and loyal disposition.
5.Newfoundland
Another extra large breed, the Newfoundland is the very definition of the phrase “more to love”. For such a massive, intimidating creature, you would be surprised to learn that these dogs are some of the most sweet, gentle, and kind dogs I have encountered.
To be honest, this list could go on to include pretty much every dog breed known to man; I'm a big fan of dogs. Do you have a cute dog at home? Share a picture with us in the comments!
