The Best Dog Breeds

Posted on November 18, 2014 by

Hey it’s Tracy. I’m just sharing the information, this doesn’t mean I completely agree. I have two dogs. One is a pure bread Lab and the other is a lab mix. I think they’re the best! But here’s the story:

Is there anything more inflammatory than telling someone their dog is a crappy breed? Be careful what you do with the following information . . .

A new study ranked 87 of the most popular dog breeds from best to worst. They based it on how much they cost . . . their intelligence . . . their health . . . their lifespan . . . and how easy they are to groom.

And the best dog in the world is . . . the Border Collie. They’re the most intelligent breed, they live an average of 12-and-a-half years, they’re relatively cheap, and they’re pretty easy to groom.

The rest of the top 10 dog breeds are: Border Terrier . . . Brittany . . . Cairn Terrier . . . Welsh Springer Spaniel . . . English Cocker Spaniel . . . Cocker Spaniel . . . Papillon . . . Australian Cattle Dog . . . and Shetland Sheepdog.

The worst dog is . . . the BULLDOG. They’re one of the less intelligent dogs . . . only live an average of six years . . . have a ton of genetic health problems . . . and cost a lot to buy.

The rest of the bottom 10 dog breeds are: Saint Bernard . . . Great Dane . . . Mastiff . . . Bullmastiff . . . Irish Wolfhound . . . Bloodhound . . . Chow Chow . . . Alaskan Malamute . . . and Boxer.
