5. Labrador Retriever

They are the most popular dogs in our country, and they are also some of the most friendly and affectionate breeds you will ever meet. Labs are great companions for small children, and this is the reason there are so many families who have them as companions.

These pups have a reputation for having a loving temperament and getting along well with other dogs and humans. They even get along with strangers! Yes, we know they are not the best guard dogs.

Labs are playful and gentle and will always be more than happy to spend time with other pups, cats, or other small animals. You can stay calm and never worry if you plan to let your Labrador Retriever home alone with other pets.

For years and years, labs were bred to work with humans, and as a result of this, they now have a people-oriented nature and are always eager to help.
