Papillon
Sure, papillons are small, but they have plenty of energy that needs to be burned if you’re going to keep this smart dog breed happy. Papillons don’t usually enjoy being lap dogs but thrive when they are taught new commands or taken for long walks where they can explore all the new sights and smells.
Labrador Retriever
There is a reason we see so many labradors as working dogs: they are a simple breed to train. Labradors are quick to learn and love to please making them the perfect family dog as well as ideal candidates for detecting illegal substances, working as therapy dogs, and helping assist with search and rescue missions.
