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.
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.
Golden Retriever
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.
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.
Labrador Retriever
Labrador Retrievers, also known as Labs, are famous for being affectionate and intelligent dogs, and rightfully so. The qualities of Labs make them great companions for senior citizens as long as they are provided the exercise they need.
However, this breed is rather large and should not be cooped up in a small apartment. So, if you have a nice-sized yard, they’ll be ecstatic. Labradors are very loving and loyal and will be great at performing watchdog duty.
