Golden Retriever
Golden Retrievers are notorious for being family dogs. They are one of the most affectionate breeds. This paired with their great temperament makes them great with people of all ages. Perhaps the most notable feature of the golden retriever is its fluffy coat. While this coat does require some maintenance due to shedding, its luster is remarkable. Golden Retrievers are very energetic and love to play. As noted by their name, this breed is great at playing fetch. The golden retriever is great for anyone who leads an active lifestyle but loves to unwind at the end of the night.
French Bulldog
French Bulldogs are known for their companionship. This breed behaves well with other dogs and children, making it a great choice for a family. French bulldogs are on average 11 to 13 inches tall and about 30 pounds. Therefore smaller than other popular bulldog breeds. French bulldogs were bred to be lap dogs. During the Industrial Revolution, lacemakers in France would have their French bulldogs sit on their laps while working to keep warm. However, this breed’s small stature and friendly energy can be deceiving, as the French bulldog is also a great watchdog.
Poodle
Poodles are known to be a stylish and poised breed. This being said, poodles were actually bred to be hunting dogs. Poodles were trained to swim and retrieve games for their owners. Additionally, the haircut that seems to be solely for aesthetic purposes, was created to increase the poodle’s efficiency while swimming. In addition to protecting their organs, the puffs of hair are centered around their joints to keep them cushioned and warm. This is opposed to the shaved spots which keep the poodle from being weighed down while swimming. Today, this haircut is heavily monitored when poodles show in competition. Owners must have their dog’s hair cut in one of three styles and measured to the nearest inch.
