Much like Labradors, Golden Retrievers are extremely friendly and clever dogs that are easy to train. They also have high emotional intelligence and are very attuned to humans’ emotional needs.
However, they need lots of exercise, so you’d love to have one if you live a more active lifestyle, or have enough space for it to roam. Golden Retrievers thrive on companionship and have a lot of patience. You’d be one lucky person to own one.
Manchester Terrier
The Manchester Terrier came to us from England, as its name suggests. The sweet, petite, and calm dog only needs a moderate amount of exercise and almost no grooming.
Manchester Terriers are known for being affectionate, cheerful, and well-behaved. So, if those are traits you're looking for in a dog then this one may be the one for you!
English Bulldog
The famous English Bulldog makes a great pet for people of all ages. Most people know that despite its tough appearance it's actually a very friendly dog, and they're very loyal to their owner.
Bulldogs can be pretty lazy, so be sure to take your pup out a few times daily, and watch its diet. Hey, same for you! Diet and exercise are key to pretty much anything.
Papillon (Continental Toy Spaniel)
Being a 'Toy' breed, Papillons are petite and easy to bathe and transport. In fact, you may have even seen one in women's purses.
Papillons are very intelligent, so you'll have no trouble training one. And it's very fun, some would even call it silly. This breed can be quite possessive of their owners, so it’s best to not have any other pets around.
Japanese Spaniel
Japanese Spaniels, also known as Japanese chins are dignified yet silly dogs, that'll keep you entertained during your newfound free time.
It's relatively low-maintenance as you only have to brush it about once a week, and this breed doesn’t bark as much as other dogs which is a plus if you have sensitive neighbors.
