  • Dogs
    • Airedale TerrierMost people think of terriers as feisty little dogs who are bursting with energy. The Airedale Terrier bucks that trend, as this large, dignified dog presents itself with a kingly air. Indeed, it is referred to as the “King of Terriers”. This is a versatile dog breed that excels at hunting, sports, and companionship. The Airedale Terrier is a dog that will challenge their owner. They may be low-maintenance when it comes to grooming, but require focused attention when it comes to training and exercise. The owner’s reward for this is a dog that can truly do it all. Airedale Terriers approach life with an intense focus, and their enthusiasm for both work and play mean they do well at both.
    • Alaskan MalamuteAlaskan Malamutes look like wolves, and an unaware or inexperienced person may even mistake them for wolves. Indeed, they often play wolves in movies and on TV. This ancient breed still looks much like it did 4000 years ago, hence the similarity to their wild cousins. Unlike actual wolves, Alaskan Malamutes are people pleasers, through and through. These strong, muscular, and hardy dogs were born for the brutal cold of the Arctic circle. Though they are often companion dogs now in urban areas, they still excel as all-around working dogs in Alaska and other equally cold climates.
    • American BulldogThe American Bulldog exemplifies the term “big softie”, with their incredibly muscular build and sweet disposition. They may be all-around working dogs and guardians, but they also excel at being family dogs. Their athletic bodies make them suited to a wide range of tasks, but what they love the most is to spend time with their owners. Their loyalty and devotion to their humans is almost legendary, and they will reward a patient and caring owner with all the love they can give. They do ask for a lot of attention and training, and they need an active owner who will spend a lot of time with them, but the payoff is a wonderful companion and family dog who gets along with almost everyone.
    • Australian Cattle DogAs is to be expected, the Australian Cattle Dog was bred to herd cattle. They’re also known as Blue Heelers, Australian Heelers, or Queensland Heelers. When they’re not doing their designated task of keeping rowdy livestock under control, they’re likely by their owner’s side, as this breed bonds very well with humans. Their unwavering work ethic and exceptional physical abilities have made them popular farm dogs all over the world. These are courageous, tireless, and focused working dogs who just so happen to be gentle with humans and protective of their territory. While they are a challenge for novice owners, experienced owners will get the most out of these dogs.
    • Australian ShepherdAustralian Shepherds approach life with a surefooted gait and a keen eye. If dogs were people, the Australian Shepherd would be the straight-A student and a star athlete at the same time. This breed is sharp-witted, agile, and energetic, making them a perfect dog for their intended work of herding livestock. The Australian Shepherd or Aussie is a born and bred ranch dog, and has been the dog of choice of cowboys and sheep herders for over a hundred years. Modern Aussies that don’t live on farms often participate in dog sports that maximize their natural athleticism.
    • Basset HoundDespite their soulful eyes and perpetually sad expression, Basset Hounds are loving and easygoing dogs who make friends with everyone they meet. These calm, relaxed dogs make great family pets and adapt well to most environments. They’re cheerful and happy to be around people and other dogs.  Most Basset Hounds are kept as pets these days, but their hound genetics mean that they’re excellent at following a scent. These long, low-slung dogs get close to the ground to better track down their prey. However, the most that many Basset Hounds will track down is some food, as they love to eat. They enjoy being lap dogs, or at least try to be, as they can be very heavy for their height. 
    • BeagleBeagles are fun-loving little scamps that enjoy spending time with humans and other dogs. These inquisitive little hounds have a much bigger dog’s appetite for play, adventure, and companionship. They’re cheerful, they’re clever, and most of all, they’re great with people. Most Beagles are easygoing and gentle most of the time, except when they catch the scent of something interesting, then the hound takes over and they’re determined and focused. They’re prone to mischief, since they’re so playful and adventurous. Beagles are experts in giving their owners the “puppy dog eyes,” and are smart enough to use it when they get into trouble.
    • Belgian MalinoisThe Belgian Malinois has become a staple of military service, police work, search and rescue, and even canine sports. This breed has distinguished itself as a protector and all-around working dog. Their no-frills appearance just serves to highlight the utilitarian nature of the breed. These extremely powerful, intelligent, and driven animals were born to work. If there could be one word to describe the Belgian Malinois, it would be “intense”. The Belgian Malinois will constantly push themselves to new heights, and are looking for owners who can do the same.
    • Bernese Mountain DogThe Bernese Mountain Dog is an image of strength, peace, and rugged beauty, much like the mountains from where it hails. This burly dog has a stoic and calm persona shaped by the environment of Bern, the Swiss canton where it was developed. It is by far the most popular out of the four Swiss mountain dog breeds in existence. Endless fields of green, steep mountainsides, and deep cold lakes of water are this breed’s natural habitat. To this day the Bernese Mountain Dogs are tireless all-around farm dogs and loyal companions. They’re a breed that excels at drafting and pulling carts, owing to their immense strength and hardworking demeanor.
    • Bichon FriseThe Bichon Frise is an adorable little powder puff of a dog, that’s not the only place their talents lie. These small, sturdy dogs are full of personality and confidence. They’re happy-go-lucky companions who get along well with children, other dogs, and strangers. They’re curious and alert, and can adapt well to even novice dog owners. The Bichon is a born performer, quick and agile on their feet. Bichons are full of charm and comedy, and will not hesitate to clown around for their friends and family. They’ve been doing this for hundreds of years, and their good-natured temperament is a big reason for the breed’s longevity.
    • BloodhoundThe Bloodhound is one of the most recognizable breeds in the world – after all, who can forget their droopy face, long ears, and well-built body. But this breed goes beyond appearances, and these dogs have an impressive sense of smell that has made them hunting companions for hundreds of years, if not thousands. Bloodhounds have been portrayed in media and pop culture as the “Sherlock Holmes” of dogs, able to sniff out clues and fugitives, and that is certainly something at which they excel. But they’re also laid-back and gentle family dogs who love to spend time with humans.
    • Border CollieThe Border Collie is an amazing dog breed that can do it all, but is equally demanding of its owners. If there was one word to describe a Border Collie, it would be “overachiever.” These energetic, loyal, and incredibly intelligent dogs are the world’s premiere herding breed.  They’re athletic, muscular, and balanced dogs who move with sure-footed grace in everything they do. Border Collies love to work, and love to play once the work is done. But they don’t just love being active, they also have an intense love for their owners and family members. 
    • Boston TerrierThe Boston Terrier is a dapper little American gentleman, with a signature black and white tuxedo coat. This good-natured and affectionate little breed has a distinctive look and big sweet eyes that will melt even the most chilly of hearts. Even though they’re not a working breed, Boston Terriers are almost never idle – they’re always on the lookout for playmates. Boston Terrier owners will have to be prepared to make new friends, as their dog is going to introduce them to everyone they come across. But don’t worry, a Boston Terrier will always prefer to spend the most time with their chosen human, whether it’s lounging on the couch or sprinting around the block. These little dogs want to enjoy every second of life, and will do it most happily with you by their side.
    • BoxerThe Boxer is a dog breed renowned the world over for being a jack of all trades, and master of many. These loyal working dogs move like the athletes for which they’re named, and have the confidence and dignity of champions. Boxers aren’t just bred for work, they also love to play and are frequently the life of the party. They’ve got rugged good looks and a sense of humour that has endeared them to dog lovers for hundreds, if not thousands of years.
    • BullmastiffThe Bullmastiff cuts an imposing figure with its height and oversized musculature. It’s true that this breed is an excellent guard dog and protector, but it is also a wonderful family dog that is deeply affectionate towards family and friends. These large and powerful dogs are also sweet and good-natured, almost never aggressive, and they thrive on human companionship. Bullmastiffs are surprisingly mellow despite their appearance, and are calm and composed in most situations. They enjoy relaxing on the couch more than playing around, but are game for almost any adventure with their owners.
    • Cane CorsoA Cane Corso is reminiscent of a Roman Centurion: commanding and imposing with a quiet air of confidence. These ancient working dogs have excelled at many roles throughout their long history. While the Cane Corso may give off the appearance of a professional bodyguard, they are also affectionate and are eager to please their humans.
    • Cavalier King Charles SpanielThe Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is one part companion dog and one part sporting dog, and their immense love for their humans is combined with an equal love for play. These dogs combine a gentle, easy going temperament with impressive athleticism for such a small animal. Don’t let appearances fool you: these noble-looking dogs have bubbly personalities and are some of the most playful creatures you’ll ever meet. They tend to be gentle, patient, and affectionate with everyone, including other dogs and pets. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is game for anything their owner wants to do, so long as they get to join.
    • CavapooThe Cavapoo is a hybrid of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Miniature or Toy Poodle. This small breed dog was created to be a low-shedding companion that combines the positive traits of both the parent breeds. These floppy-eared little charmers have endeared themselves to many dog owners worldwide with their gentle nature and love for humans.
    • CavoodleAlso known as Cavapoo, the Cavoodle is a hybrid of a Poodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. With their wavy hair, floppy ears and cute eyes, these dogs have an innocent teddy bear look. They are also fun and full of life, making them the perfect addition to any family.
    • ChihuahuaThe Chihuahua is famous for being the ultimate purse dog. This national symbol of Mexico is renowned for being the smallest dog breed, but makes up for its diminutive stature with a personality as big as any giant breed dog. Chihuahuas enjoy life to the fullest, and they love being around and spending time with their human companions. The Chihuahua is a portable little pet, at home inside tote bags and purses. They form deep bonds with their guardians, and are both loyal and courageous when it comes to protecting their family.
    • Cocker SpanielA Cocker Spaniel can be disarmingly adorable with their long, flowing locks, but buried beneath this glamorous exterior is the heart of a hunter. This pint-sized hunting dog may not look the part, but they’ve been loyal gundogs for hundreds, or possibly thousands of years. While they have a history as being relentlessly reliable sporting dogs, Cocker Spaniels are also excellent companions. Their merry personalities and affection for humans make them wonderful family pets. Add to that their big, sweet eyes and love of adventure, and it’s easy to see why these sturdy little dogs are so popular.
    • CorgiThe Corgi is best known for being Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite dog breed, but its appeal goes well beyond its renown as a royal housepet. Corgis are one of America’s most loved breeds due their affectionate nature and charming looks. When we hear the name “Corgi” we typically think of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, though there is another variant called the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. However, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is the type we’ll be talking about on this page, as it is vastly more popular than the Cardigan. While they may have been originally bred to be herding dogs, they’re now more commonly kept as companion animals. Corgis have gotten exposure in pop culture and social media, becoming one of the more sought-after breeds due to their cute and cuddly appearance
    • DachshundThe Dachshund has one of the most distinctive silhouettes among all dog breeds. Its long, low body and short, stubby legs have earned it the name “sausage dog” among many of the breed’s fans. Dachshunds have been popular in both real life and in pop culture, owing to their fun-loving and lively personalities. While they are now kept as companion dogs, they also have a long history of being alert watchdogs and fierce hunters.
    • DalmatianMost dog owners can’t get enough of the Dalmatian. This breed rose to Hollywood fame with the animated film 101 Dalmatians, but they’ve been charming dog lovers for hundreds of years. This unique breed is one of the most iconic dog breeds in the world. They consistently turn heads with their distinctive black and white spots and calm, distinguished demeanor. This breed isn’t just about its looks. In real life, Dalmatians are renowned as firehouse dogs, hunters, and performers. They move with an effortless gait thanks to their well-balanced and athletic bodies. They were bred to be all-around protectors of horse-drawn carriages, but nowadays most Dalmatians are sweet, devoted family dogs.
    • DobermanThe Doberman Pinscher or Doberman ranks among the top dog breeds in the world, with a reputation and stature that few others can match. The elegant and stately visage of the Doberman has made it attractive to dog lovers for over a hundred years. Dobermans are known for their powerful build and regal countenance. Their sharp, angular features give them a serious appearance, but many Dobermans are also kept as companions and family dogs. Dobermans excel at a number of demanding tasks, including police work, search and rescue, and as military dogs during World War II.
    • French BulldogThe French Bulldog or Frenchie is one of a kind, both in appearance and in personality. These bat-eared little charmers are some of the most popular urban dogs in the world today. They’re great for both experienced dog owners and novices alike. While they’re not a traditionally beautiful breed, French Bulldogs have a unique appeal. They’re similar in appearance to the Bulldog, but scaled down to a size that makes them ideal for apartment living. They get along well with almost all humans and most animals with their easygoing nature. 
    • German ShepherdEvery dog owner knows the German Shepherd. This incredibly popular breed is renowned for its strength, intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. The German Shepherd has the ability to fill a multitude of demanding roles, from search-and-rescue dog to service dog.  German Shepherds not only excel at work, they’ve also got the good looks to be movie stars. Rin-Tin-Tin and Bullet the Wonder Dog paved the way for German Shepherds to be some of the most popular dogs in pop culture. 
    • German Shorthaired PointerVersatility is the name of the game for the German Shorthaired Pointer. They’re all-purpose close-working dogs with the agility, endurance, quickness, and power needed to fill almost any role their owner requires. They tend to be happy, capable pets for active owners who can fill their exercise needs. Their appearance is often described as “noble” or “dignified”, and it’s hard to disagree with that assessment. Their striking coat gives them a distinctive look, and their physiques are slim but well-muscled. They’re well-balanced dogs that excel at both work and family life. Taking care of a German Shorthaired Pointer is a daily adventure, and one that they’ll happily join.
    • Golden RetrieverGolden Retrievers are consistently in the top three most popular dog breeds in America. They could be called the biggest puppies in the world, as their fun-loving and playful personalities carry on well into adulthood. Despite their reputation for clowning around with their family members, they also have a serious side when it comes to work. The Golden Retriever was originally bred to be a gundog, and its work ethic and intelligence make it well suited for a wide variety of tasks. Golden Retrievers excel in all sorts of fields, making them great guide dogs, search-and-rescue dogs, and competitors in dog sports.
    • GoldendoodleGoldendoodles are a cross between the Golden Retriever and the Poodle. The Poodle parent is usually either miniature or standard size. This hybrid is part of a group of Poodle mixes that have grown in popularity over the past couple of decades. The Goldendoodle is said to have the intelligence and friendliness of the Golden Retriever while also getting the hypoallergenic coat of the Poodle. Most Goldendoodles are able to serve as versatile working dogs, while also being affectionate and gentle companions.
    • Great DaneIt’s easy to see why the Great Dane has its name – it’s truly a great dog breed in both size and personality. They’re known as the “Apollo of dogs” for their stately grace and imposing stature. Great Danes are equal parts hardy working dog and cheerful companion. Everything about them is giant-sized: their loyalty, their courage, and their heart. Despite their imposing size and appearance, they’re playful and gentle with their human companions.
    • GreyhoundGreyhounds are simply built to run. These natural athletes are the fastest dogs by far, clocking in at an incredible 40 to 45 miles per hour in some cases. But that’s not all they do – they’ve also found success in other dog sports where their agility and speed are useful. When they’re not competing, Greyhounds are known for their mild demeanor and love of comfort. Their slender, inverted-S shaped build has been the fascination of dog breeders and dog lovers for hundreds of years. The Greyhound is the classic racing dog upon which all others are judged.
    • HavaneseThe Havanese is a toy breed that has won the hearts of dog lovers all over the world. It’s also known as the little white dog of Havana or the Havana Silk Dog, and is the national dog of Cuba. The Havanese has both a razor-sharp intelligence and charming silken locks, making them ideal companions for those who want their dog to be both biddable and beautiful. They are natural lap dogs but they’re not couch potatoes – they’re playful and are prone to clowning around to make their owners laugh. The Havanese has an affectionate nature and enjoys spreading their love to strangers, family members, and even other animals. These dogs are wonderfully versatile pets and fit well into any family.
    • Jack Russell TerrierJack Russell Terriers are best described as a pocket rocket – they’re small, fast, agile, and they won’t stop until they hit their mark. They’re always on the go, always ready to play or hunt at the drop of a hat. The Jack Russell Terrier is a loving and affectionate dog, but asks a lot from their owner – a compromise that many people are more than willing to make for such a wonderful companion. Most Jack Russell Terriers also excel at being family pets, as they’re sweet and good-natured. However, most of the time the Jack Russell Terrier is larger than life, both in voice and in temperament. They approach everything at 100% intensity and expect the same from their human companions. They’re smart, charming, and fearless dogs who yearn for adventure.
    • LabradoodleLabradoodles are charming crossbreed dogs resulting from the mating between a Labrador Retriever and the miniature or standard Poodle. This hybrid is just one of the many Poodle mixes that have become increasingly popular among people with dog allergies.  The goal for the creation of the Labradoodle was to have a hypoallergenic guide dog. That meant creating an intelligent, loyal, and gentle companion with a coat that could trap shed hair and dander. Many Labradoodles possess these qualities, but are highly dependent on the skill and quality of the breeders.  A well-bred and healthy Labradoodle is a versatile, friendly, and affectionate animal that is capable of filling many roles – whether as a family pet or as a working dog. 
    • Labrador RetrieverThe Labrador Retriever could very well be called America’s Dog, as it has been the favorite breed for many decades. It’s not hard to see why – Labrador Retrievers are incredibly friendly and loving family dogs, while having the work ethic and ability to be trained as service and therapy dogs. These energetic, outgoing dogs live to please their humans, play with friends, and go on adventures. They’re affectionate to everyone they meet, and give 100% in everything they do. They’re also very well-balanced dogs and enthusiastic athletes, doing well in a variety of canine sports. It’s hard to go wrong with a Labrador Retriever, so long as you can give them the attention and care they desire.
    • MalteseDog breeds of all sorts have been living with humans since as far back as recorded history. They often have work or important duties to fulfil for their masters – but a few breeds have no job to do aside from being pampered and adored. This is something the Maltese has done for over 2,500 years. These natural lap dogs are precisely that – meant to relax in luxury, bringing joy and comfort to their masters. They’re charming, graceful, and gentle, seldom putting a foot out of place or causing their owners to fret. The Maltese has one goal in life, and it’s to see you smile.
    • MaltipooThe Maltipoo is a cross between a Maltese and a Toy or Miniature Poodle. This small breed dog was intended to have the intelligence and affectionate nature of both the parent breeds, as well as the low-shedding coat of the Poodle. These sensitive and gentle companion dogs are a great choice for new dog owners as well as the elderly.
    • PomeranianPomerianians, or Poms, are probably the most popular of the toy dog breeds. These tiny dogs have personalities that can match that of the royalty and aristocrats who have owned them throughout the years.  Intelligent, perky, and alert would probably be the three most apt words to describe a Pomeranian. They’re a friendly and outgoing breed, with courage that far exceeds their small stature. These fox-faced little charmers are deceptively good at being watchdogs, as well as being excellent family pets. 
    • PoodleThe Poodle is the dog world’s valedictorian, prom king or queen, and varsity captain all rolled into one. This breed is known for its sweet and gentle disposition, outgoing nature, and elegant appearance. While they’ve been typecast in movies and TV shows as a snobby animal, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The Poodle is a social creature that loves to make friends, easily charming everyone they meet with their bright-eyed personality. They’re not just companion dogs, either – they move with effortless grace, and can keep up with almost any other breed in athleticism. It’s no surprise that they’ve remained at the top of the popularity charts for as long as most people can remember.
    • PugThe Pug is one of the most distinctive dog breeds in the entire world. A Pug is often the life of the party and loves being the center of attention. It’s no surprise, since they have been the pets of all sorts of nobles and royalty for thousands of years.  Despite this background, they get along well with people from all walks of life, and are loyal and loving companions. They’re easygoing and gentle, but can also clown around and make people laugh if that’s what gets the most attention. These portable but sturdy dogs have charmed their way into the hearts of dog lovers the world over.
