Australian Shepherds
To be happy, Aussies need more than a walk around the block. Fetching a frisbee for hours is their favourite game.

English Springer Spaniels
Springer Spaniels love making a splash in your local pond. If not exercised daily, they can develop anxiety problems.

Border Collies
Play fetch with Collies and they’ll quickly bond with you. They really excel at learning new tricks.

Russell Terriers
Their endless energy is perfect for outdoorsy people. They’ll prefer a game of chase over jogging alongside you.

Weimaraner
This furless buddy will run at your side for miles. Be aware that they might become distressed if they don’t get enough activity.

Each dog breed is truly unique. As responsible pet parents, it is up to us to choose a dog that best fits our lifestyle. That will make the upbringing of your dog so much more enjoyable.
