Friends, watch this kind video, thank you all!Top 5 Evilest Dog Breeds in the World
ruclips.net/video/MpScW_WaTVE/видео.html
Because criminal strave them and beat them feed them small animals RAW
Humans are the cause of all of this
Agreed
I can’t believe you left out the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
They are the most adorable friendly of all
What's with the horrible AI?
All 5 should be put-Bull terrier types.
You left out the best of the best, the golden retriever.
I was watching the video to see where Goldens showed up. They are one of the kindest dogs I’ve ever met. ❤
@@loftus4453 My daughter was bitten by a golden when she was around 10 years old, unprovoked. Our family also had a golden many years ago and although he had very sweet moments most of the time, he was aggressive towards some people and he was socialized. I still like the breed but I can kinda see why other breeds rank higher. JMO in my experiences.
YES I AGREE 100%💝💝💝💝
💯
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 I have had many Golden's and they are the BEST
I once shared a cramped mountain hut with 12 people to shelter from bad weather. One couple had a nice, friendly, MASSIVE St. Bernard. Inexplicably in the middle of the night, it would get up and paw at one of the other occupants of our cabin and wake him up. This occurred several times. It turned out that he had sleep apnea and the dog got concerned when his breathing stopped. Amazing instinct.
Wow , great story !
I met a woman with a Corgie (I think) medical dog. She explained that something or another would lower something in her body, but her body would not inform her until it reached critical levels. The dog was trained to detect the imbalance early, and would bark to notify her. I didn't understand the condition or whatever that she had, but I was amazed, totally amazed, that her dog could pick up the imbalance early, and bark to let her know to take whatever pills she required. Must be some subtle change in muscle structure, or movement, or heartbeat, or something?
@@davesmith5656 Probably blood sugar level.......
@@judiheath8766 --- Could be. They say "animals can sense fear" but they can apparently sense a lot more than that, including things about another being's body state! How much we do not know ...!

I have a 4 year old border collie and she is my fourth one. They are the greatest dogs to own if you understand their nature and can handle their needs. She is the sweetest dog I have ever owned and lived with and loves people.
Had a border collie for 10 years. I couldn't have had a better friend. Intelligent, kind, loyal.
I think that because the Border is so well known for their intelligence in herding and also for being the best agility breed that people don't recognise their innate loyalty and kindness. My boy just turned 6 the other day and he's the 4th Border I've owned amongst other breeds. For me personally no other dog breed even comes close and I will always have one as long as I have my health.
@@bordercollie1140 innate loyalty and kindness is perfectly worded! Working with them in professional capacities they're tenacious, not just intelligent but strategic, athletic, and born leaders. They're also incredibly gentle and loving, and their loyalty is underrated. I have a female AmStaff mix (one of the three pitbull breeds) and my parents have a male Border Collie, and their first few interactions were love/hate. We learned during a squabble that they're equally strong, athletic, and determined, but more than that they thoroughly enjoy chasing rodents together. My dog isn't much for loyalty, but she is demandingly and at times overwhelmingly friendly and affectionate. Their Border Collie has the same disposition, but a very gentle approach. Having spent the equivalent of at least a year in and out of hospitals with medication resistant neurological disorders, I was visited by Newfies and Goldens working as therapy animals, and I feel very strongly that a Border Collie would excel in such an environment.
J ai eu aussi un amour et une intelligence pas croyable mais un pot de colle
I completely agree. My border, Dexter is kind and sweet and loyal. She is my joy.
Borders are the best once they figure out that they aren’t the alpha in the family.
I’m 44 and just got my first Basset 2.5 years ago. She is the best dog I’ve ever had. I love her so much
Love a Bassett hound! Just darling little stubborn things! ❤
@@DebNKYI once thought getting a male Bassett Hound and named him Columbo. Not sure what Lt. Columbo named the dog he found-I think it was just "Dog", but I knew 3 people who had them and they were quite nice dogs. One was an Anglican priest who had a mother and daughter team, another was a Roman Catholic priest who had 5 Bassett and if any died, he'd replace that dog to have 5. The 3rd was my brother's wife's s sister and her husband who had 2 males and a cat. When Edgar and Bingo died, they adopted a mixed Bassett/Beagle. I'm sure my Border Collies are teaching them to play soccer and all are befriending St. Francis over the Rainbow Bridge.
My favorite breed? One with four legs, a tail, and a great smile and temperament.
So... you like cats, pigs and horses?
@@Pyotaro
What's not to like ?
Any domestic animal can make a pet....
My late cat Tiger was the perfect "watchdog".
We 'd go forest hiking together. No leash though.
My dad had a pet pig and a pet ram.
Horses would lie down so he could groom them, when he was only four.
I like two legged creatures as well.
Birds.
I like to hand feed them.
Sparrows, crows, wild geese, swans, seagulls...
Love from Norway
I always rescue whatever dog needs a home. My current rescue was owner surrendered and after I got her-once a dog is in my home they do not leave-I found out why. She HATES other dogs. I walk her three or four times a day but I have to be careful where I walk. I’m 84 and do not want to fall. But she’s my baby, sleeps with me every night, and I love her so much.
So good!! Stay safe out there!!
You are a certifiably wonderful person!
Bless you for saving her! Please stay safe!
I rescued a Great Pyrenees puppy. He's now almost 3 years old and he is the sweetest most loving dog we ever owned ❤️
I work with dogs and personally have Pyrenean's. They are the best dogs.
I’m on Samoyed 6-7 in 50+ years. I got a Sammy in College. I fell in love with the breed, kind, loving & intelligent. I’ve had two Sammys live to 15+ years. I like having two close in age. All my Sammys developed a large vocabulary- picked up common words, so I often use words & hand signals to train. I couldn’t live without this breed. ❤
A Samoyed saved an older woman I knew who had fallen into her pool.
Sammys are lovely, sweet, and playful; always eating something I regret later. They are absolutely lap dogs and bedwarmers! Love them.
I rescued my 1st Samoyed in 1998 while in Las Vegas. I came home a winner. I converted breeds
I say pure sugar no calories.
They need a job & Happy if that job is to love you.
I've had 15. 7 right now. My own team. ❤😊🎉 Peanut is at the beach right now with friends for 3 weeks. I'm envious.
@@tazgustafson539 one of my boys is a rescue. We call him the lil polar 🐻❄️ because of his size. Yet, he thinks 🤔 he's a small dog.
After my Golden learned the words like out, walk, etc. we started spelling them. That succeeded for only a short while.
I rescued a Samoyed from a lonely life consigned to a roof top, being slung a few bread rolls a day and no contact with anyone at alll. Every word said here about them I support, he's the loveliest kindest dog I've ever had.
One of my college housemates had one of these. It killed my cat, my girlfriend's cat and the little old lady next door had her ancient poodle ripped right out of her arms and killed by it. I stopped it killing another cat in the house. Most vicious dog I ever knew about.
@@booboo8577 Either it wasn't a Samoyed, or it was a very very rare one with something wrong with it. They are notorious for being friendly, gentle and trustworthy, as they were carefully bred to be by the Somoyedi people who use them as babysitters. I find what you say to be highly unlikely I'm afraid.
@@booboo8577 probably not a Samoyed... I currently own three with a litter on the way and there all rescuse and not a visious bone in their body. they were used to babysit children as one of their main jobs. Had three other adults dogs and a litter of seven last year plus know countless other owners... the closest to agression I have seen is a standoffish one that dose not care about other people and atention and that is even rare for the dog.... There are a few breeds that look like this dog... was them or that dog was in a lot of pain / seriouly abused.... I'm not joking when I say I have never had a kinder gentaler dogs then the Samoyed.. ours loves babys and awlays kisses them most arctic breeds like the Samoyed were bread to sleep with humans at night also to keep them warm... looking after children etc... not a trait that would be normal at all..
@@Megan_Fiorilla I, get confused about two distinct breads. Eskimo Spitz and the Samoyd Dogs. They both look alike. My family had a Eskimo Spitz Dog? Samoyd Dog, and THAT Dog was the very BEST, BEST Dog ever. Very good watch Dog, very loyal and faithful, ya just couldn't ask for any better of a Dog than Fritizie, shecwas the very top of the list. I now have a little Sheltie Collie Dog, and right now, she's sleeping next to my bed. Now that little girl of mine wonder go in the house, she does all of that outside as she let's ya know when she has to go to the bathroom. She's the very best thing that ever happened in my life today and I love her, very, very much. She's my only friend.
@@booboo8577 Your statement is the antithesis of the Samoyed. It most likely was not a purebred Samoyed (or a rare aberrant untrained dog not raised or acclimated to cats. ) Other dogs are oft confused with Samoyeds, like American Eskimos - smaller pointed snout, who can be snippy, or White Chows - who can have disposition problems.
I’m on 6-7 Sams in 50+ years. I got my first in college. I’m routinely around the breed at events for Northern Breed dogs. Samoyeds were bred in upper Siberia - traits bred for included close human companionship, (ie “3 dog night”) intelligent as working dogs - reindeer herders, sled pullers, family protectors, etc. Aggressive traits in close contact with humans was not a trait of this ancient breed.
I have a 5 pound Persian cat (10 years old) raised with my Sammy seniors who died not long ago & added my current two Sams. My prior Sams had a Maine Coon cat, as well as our Persian kitten - no harm. The cat was part of the pack in each instance. It sounds like whoever owned the “dog” did not acclimate the “dog.”
One of my boys is a rescue, he was never around cats & the other a puppy raised with the cat. I acclimated our rescue to our Persian over 6 months. Now - the cat is a pack member who sleeps & drinks water with the boys.
General dog information- Cats can be viewed as prey by dogs if not raised around the dog or around dogs. But, as I’ve shown - slow introduction can change that. But, that may not be possible with some breeds.
My dogs & cat have unsupervised run of our home. I trust Samoyeds with children, other dogs, & have never had one attack another animal or person. It’s not their personality- look at the breed standard or look at Samoyed group posts.
Children routinely come up to play with my dogs at parks. They pull their fur, and can be rough with them. Never once have my Sammys acted aggressive toward a child or baby or other dog - intelligence, kindness - they are perfect family dogs.
All my Sammys are/were “reactive” to aggressive dogs or people - not inclined toward initial aggression.
I adore my 4 year old Border Collie. .he's my Spirit dog. .he has me wrapped around his Paw...
I have a sign that says "Border Collies Leave Paw Prints on Your Heart" and another that says "A Spoiled Rotten Border Collie Lives Here." All mine are over the Rainbow Bridge now and I bought the signs from a catalog company called "Border Collies in Action".
I have a Border Collie. I absolutely love them . They are wonderful farm working dogs because they are so pliable and they listen.
I have 2 Border Collies- purebred and yes they are as smart as they say!!!!! Loads of comedy, endless communication and terrific company. They figure things out including me. I love them like my kids! I have had 6 border collies over the years. The first 3 lived to 15 years 4th- 16 years. The latest are 3 and 4 years respectively. I expect them to be around for many more years. Can't imagine life without them! They absolutely love the grandkids. So sweet.
We’ve owned Labs for years.
Our current dog is a 115# Chocolate Lab.
He’s our gentle Giant. He LOVES almost Everyone.
We live 5 miles from town on a private road. We have neighbors who live at the end of the road and walk with their children to the school bus stop every morning. Joe (our dog) walks with the parents and kids to the bus stop. The school bus driver always lets Joe on the bus to say good morning to the kids, then they tell Joe to get off the bus so he can walk back home with our neighbors. Once they get to our house he runs up onto our covered deck and lays down.
He goes hiking with neighbors as well.
i love it!!!!
We reciently lost our Chloe a German Shepard of 15 years. She was a rescue from a high kill facility. Over her years she was a wonderful caring companion, Couch potato and guard dog. She loved dressing up for special occasions like Christmas and Halloween. At Halloween she would sit with us in the yard to pass out candy to all the children. I will miss her forever.
Chloe sounds like a true treasure and a friend to everyone. I am so sorry that you lost her. She obviously adored you.
"She loved dressing up for special occasions like Christmas and Halloween."
It's wrong to think that animals "like to be dressed up". No dog likes to be dressed up as it's against their nature, it's not normal for them. They do so because they don't have a choice or say in what you do to or with them, they just obey or oblige to your commands or wishes. Humans on the other hand, love to dress up for different occasions.
Dogs will do a lot of things to please their owners, even if they can't tell you they don't like it.
@@metarugia3981 ,
So true!
Too many humans want to show off with their dog, as if they were in a Circus!
So sorry for your loss
We have 2 german shepard mixes. One is a rescue and a lot like your Chloe. She is a couch potato (enjoying having a couch of her own) and very attached to us. She is afraid of strangers but not fear aggressive. She is weird as she gets excited when we rarely dress her (dives her head into clothes). I think she connects looking cute in clothes with slightly more attention. Our other gsd-mix thinks that every new person and animal he meets is his new best friend.
We have had a border collie for two years. She’s the most sensitive sweet dog we’ve ever had. She does like to run and we try to walk her every day. She absolutely loves her little brother chihuahua
I can’t believe you left out Golden Retrievers! The kindest, most loyal breed I’ve ever owned. Growing up, I had an Afghan Hound, Cocker Spaniel, and a Malamute. As an adult, we have Shelties (also, VERY loyal, and smart) Black Labs and Golden Retrievers. My kids have had Poms, Boxers, Aussies, etc. And hands down, out of ALL these breeds, it’s our Goldens that are the kindest and most loyal.
Yup I have a golden and I love how kind she is when ever she sees someone she starts whining because she want to play with them and sometimes she even pees her self from excitement when they pet her🥰
I know these are all great breeds but I've mostly had mixed breed dogs growing up. I did finally get a Boxer and he was the most fun dog ever. I adore that breed!
I have never had a Golden and know they should be top of the list for kindness.
@@sdgakatbk that's a golden for ya 😂
Yes. Shelties are so loyal and protective of their families.❤
Oh you can't possibly not have mentioned Golden Retrievers!! They are the absolute kindest, most loving, gentle dogs...and I've had 5 different breeds, but my Golden was just something else. 🥰 I was pregnant and he would put his head on my womb at nights. And when my son was born, my Golden was so gentle and attentive to him. As my son grew into toddlerhood, my Golden was so patient with his antics and just so protective and loving. I've had 3 dogs since my Golden passed and I love all dogs, but my Golden Retriever was just something else. I miss him every day.
Top nine, so I guess as sweet as golden's are, there are 9 kinder breeds. We had a Golden and lost him to cancer when he was a little over 12 1/2 yrs old in 2011. He was my soul dog and we had an amazing connection and I still cry thinking about him. But I will say, he was not nice to everyone and he was well socialized. I loved him so much, but I have to be honest. My daughter was also bitten by a Golden years ago and it was unprovoked according to her and others in the room.
I know of Retrievers who bite. Again, it all depends on training.
@@bayareagrl4ever526true, our Golden loves humans more than her fellow K-9s…
I had a friend who had a Golden retriever and one day I went to his house and at the front door was Musashi his Golden Retriever and it was love at first sight . He went ceazy over me and i was head and heels in love with that dog . I ended renting a room in his house and quickly spent all my free time with him . I loved that dog and to this day he was the first dog i ever learned to love
Golden retrievers are at the top of my list as kindest, most loyal and devoted dogs out there. I am surprised they didn’t make your list.😮
Goldens are the kindest, therapy and companion dog. It’s a well known fact. This video isn’t accurate at all. Farm girl, dog loving, enthusisist here. This video is BS. ❤
I think the video links Golden's in with labs.
I agree. My family has raised Goldens for about 25 years. There are other dogs they forgot as well. And they shouldn’t link them with labs as they are different on many levels.
We've had three. They are wonderful and kind. Should have made the list. I told my dog, Murphy, that goldens are probably number one. Very disappointing.
Goldens are the absolute best!!
I own two aussies or Australian shepherds they are so adorable
Our Aussies are irreplacesble
I love my border collie so loyal, kind and loving. She never leaves my side 😊
My first dog was a sheltie border collie mix the size of a sheltie! Two years my senior! Us kids listened to her she kept us out of danger as we bordered a woods! She herded us when my mom needed a hand so we were always under her protection! She always helped our kitten who in turn returned the favor as the dog recovered from a stroke in old age! She was one of the kindest dogs ive ever or ever will encounter!
The most calm friendly dog is Hank. He was a an all white yellow Labrador. (Blond) . He loved everyone and barked literally once per year. spent time in an assisted living home. Tail ran over by wheelchair he just looked sad. Best dog ever.
I have a Shih Tzu I adopted a yrs. Bridget is socialized, kind and loving. I am 77yrs. And she takes care of me! She adapts to my moods and needs communicates her needs to me when necessary. She is 7 yrs old now and just as playful as day one. We live in a condo and she loves to interact with my neighbors and their pets. Everybody knows Bridget by name!
mary ferguson, I have one also, at 66, living in Southeast Asia. In Chinese, the name translates to "little lion". There is a legend that Buddha owned one, and the two were out walking one evening, when they were set upon by robbers, looking to rob and kill Buddha. It is said that his dog transformed into a lion, chasing off the bandits, and saving Buddha's life! And while our dogs can't do that, they would if they could! Cheers!
Border collies are so loving and smart
I have a golden retriever, and this breed deserves the same acclaim you provided for Labs! My dog's best friend is a Labrador Retriever; they are as one soul.
as a dog owner walker and pet sitter who owns a Beagle, I can say by experience that the Golden Retriever is another wonderfully great breed.
How could you not include the Rough Collie, like Lassie ?! I've had four of these wonderful dogs, over the years, and still have one of them now. You can't beat a Collie. They ARE 'Lassie' in every way that matters. :)
I had a Golden Retriever who was constant companion. He was my guides dog I miss him dearly. He could see his gentle loving soul through his big brown eyes. You should add the Golden Retriever to this list.
Shih Tsu. She loves everyone. We call her "aggressively friendly". She is always happy.... except when I can't walk her as she loves to go for walks. Kids love her as she is so soft, doesn't shed, and looks like a bit like a Teddy Bear. Love her, cannot imagine life without her.
We’ve had Labs, Goldens and Shepherds. I love them all but Goldens are the absolute best!
Our Great Dane was the most calm, liked everyone, nothing bothered him, non-stressed, never jumped on anyone, huge, cuddle bud and humorous dog. He came through the same doggie door that our American Eskimo used. He stuck his big feet through then his head then his body then his back legs and feet. Laid down on the sofa like he had never questioned for a moment that he couldn’t do it. Well we had to adopt him. Or he adopted us. He was a pleasure. Nothing bothered him ever. He didn’t know he couldn’t fit on your lap. He just calmly made the best of it. We both had to make room.
I have Border Collies. They are my love ❤
I love my BC. Never dull.
Im surprised poodles didnt make it to the list. They are smart, playful and very protective of children. I loved mine!
We have always had Samoyeds and Black Labs , the love of family always . The kindness is amazing . We love them all ! And they love us back
I vote for Sammies!!
@@janycethomas7045 Me, too!
Me also, had 2.
I have had the pleasure of the company of five red setter's, wonderful with children kind and faithful.
We rescued a dog from a very sad life in Galicia and wow a fantastic loving friendly dog he is. He is a Basque Shepherd. Wow he is my shadow. He was needing space & time to develop into the dog he has become as he was so shut down from his previous life. Loads of love care and he is the best fella ever. We love our fella to bits.
Oh, so wonderful. To let him be the dog he was meant to be! I have never seen a basque Shepard! So many breeds of dogs supposed to be developed to help us, now in a different way...to develop our humility!
Great turnaround, so happy for all.
"He was needing space & time to develop into the dog he has become as he was so shut down from his previous life."
Sounds like a poorly mistreated dog. In the right environment with love and care, any dog can live to their fullest.
You may want to read a book called "El Lobo" It is about a basque Shepherd who adopted a tourist couple.
The Basque Shepherd are related to the Australian Shepherd as their Basque human owners went to Australia to herd sheep down under. During the "Gold Rush" in California, sheep were imported to feed the miners and the dogs and humans came with the sheep. Since they came from Australia, they were renamed Australian Shepherds. They also have some English Shepherd bloodlines as well. I would say both those breeds are excellent pets for physically active people who interact with their dogs.
As an owner of numerous different breeds, my Newf was the most amazing. Just seeing her everyday brought me joy. I miss her everyday.
I wish the golden retriever was on the list they are so sweet dogs
Yeah but my friend saw one once and it jumped on her lol
@@Guesswho_coco Most dogs will jump on people when they're excited unless you work very hard to train it out of them. To them it's a friendly gesture, not aggressive.
I adopted my neighbor's under-appreciated English Mastiff. She was the most gentle, loving dog I've ever had. When she first entered my house and met my 20-year-old cat, she immediately accepted that this was the cat's home and she always deferred to him.
My Aussie is no slouch on the kindness scale. She always wants to help out to make someone happy. She is also a great service dog
I have a Lhas Apso and she is the best friend I have ever had.
True to their form, she only barks when someone is near the door. A very calm, sensitive, intelligent and kind breed and so easy to live with.
Almost any dog can be the kindest. Depends on how you raise and treat it.
some dogs are just naturally less nippy tho, mostly bigger dogs are more relaxed and dont get pissed off at stuff
Not chili dogs. They’re brutal.
Yupp
Yeah, but some dogs, such as large guard dog breeds, need wayyy more training & socialization. Large, active breeds are always going to have more potential for aggression, fear & power struggles with their owners, if not exercised & socialized properly & consistently.
Not really. Dogs are just like humans. They can have faults from birth. But that's not usually the case.
Thanks for mentioning the Labrador retriever, it's my favorite dog 🐕
Most popular dog in the world
We have a border collie who always has been surprisingly calm and patient, even when she was still very young. She is very smart.
My girl (profile pic) is 50/50 border collie/blue heeler. Chill after 8.30PM but ready to do anything before then. And when it's play time holy poop its on.
My collie is anything but patient and absolutely convinced that everything belongs to him, especially my dinner. My Pyr is respectful, but not my collie. I've been working with him and he's much better than he was, and he's still awful!
@@kathyling-mullins If my dog got to the point where she would actively go for food I am eating (without it being offered) she would go to another room for a while.
And every time she did it after she would go to another room, would hopefully catch on.
My last girl Doberman/Blue Heeler did steal a sausage off my plate when I was eating in the living room. She made it half way across room before I could get out "FREEZE". She dropped it and just sat there like "What?": She was young and I was laughing my rear off, took it away and she got none of it. That's the rules.
@@kathyling-mullins Did you test for MDR1 gene deficency? Lots of Collies have, including our wunderful Rough Collie. If they have this deficiency it makes self-control almost impossible.
Grew up with a Border Collie so naturally I think they're the best dog breed.
I’ve had many Shelties and they were all super sweet, loyal and loving. But I love all dogs ! All animals really 😊
I was just going to add Shetland sheepdogs! They are amazing dogs: sweet, loyal, and incredibly smart. I showed them in Obedience, and finally switched to Sheltie specialties because they beat everyone else! They are tremendous dogs!
Irish wolfhounds are such sweethearts and gently giants. They likes kids and loves their family.
And they eat a lot....😅
And no bending to pat them that’s for sure!
As a child growing up, we've had a beagle, two Dobermans and a basset hound. Now since I'm with my husband, we have a Border Collie and an English Lab. Both dogs are as sweet and kind as can be. We couldn't ask for anything more.
Borders are great for Agility competitions.
An English Lab? Never heard of that breed, where did you find that one? I know back home in the UK, there's a ridiculous amount of new breeds, such as Labanies, Beagadors...I heard Foxadors too...
Definitely would add Goldens to the list because they are special in so many ways. Pugs and beagles are.both wonderful breeds. I would also love to see pitbulls on the list one day - I had one who was the sweetest, most loving dog anyone could ask for. It is time so many people should stop thinking they are dangerous dogs, because people are the ones who make them mean.
@@stephanevu-hoang1014 "English" lab is a way of denoting the show type, whereas "American" lab denotes the field type, but both are purebred Labrador Retrievers. The English are stockier and more placid requiring less exercise amd stimulation.
I have a pug and she is amazing. She’s now 11 years old. Had her since she was a weeeee little puppy. Happy days all these years. Definitely my best friend for life
My late Cocker, was the kindest dog I've ever known, even in her last hour at the vets she got up to calm a frightened puppy that came in.
Cockers are THE best!
So sorry. Must hurt. But that is the way of this place.
Bless her sweet soul! 🐾❤️🐴
What we reveal here is that kindness, empathy and love are not reserved for just one dog breed alone. Dogs with the good fortune to grow up in households where they are truly loved, spoken to kindly, and cherished, ensures, also, that they will feel safe. Good for all of us who have known and celebrated such love! I'm sure we will all do our best to keep the memories of our furry companions alive and, also, to help protect animals that have not known family love.
Our two cockers were female. One rescue. One purchased from a trusted friend. Late one was so sweet and kind. Rescue only wanted love. Sweetest pups ever. Love the so much.
I have yorkshire female and his the sweetest dog ever. Love small children and she can detect them even when they are inside of a car. Outstanding!
My Pyrenean mountain dog is a brilliant family protector. She will always comfort me when I'm feeling down as I'm terminally ill. She is so big but eloquent and spoons me in bed. We have 9 dogs and all have their own way with the family. The Transylvanian hound, we rescued from Croatia and he was severely abused, but he's OK when things are calm.
Border Collie is the kindest most loving dog breed. Our bc was so special to us that we still mourn him. We have a bc mixed Lab now and love her dearly. She has many beautiful bc and Lab characteristics. We are blessed to have these wonderful breeds in our lives.
Shelties are smart and as active as you want them to be. They often have big dog personalities in a small package. My male has never had an accident in the home. He is doing well at age 12 and follows me all over as his job.
A Sheltie was our very first dog after getting married back in 1987. Bandit was the most sweet boy But he was protective of our daughter when she was born and he did not let anyone near her. He was extremely smart. Well behaved beyond belief! Held a grudge sometimes though, he got mad at us when we traveled without him and would look me straight in the eye when we got home and would poop right in front of me LOL The biggest compliment I could give Bandit is that he was a master's dog. Not leash trained because he didn't have a leash as he always walked by our side and never ran off, and that was not trained it was just the way he was. I still miss him, my beautiful boy.
I heard this Will Rogers quote: "I don't know if dogs go to Heaven, but I want to go where they go."
If I'm around Golden Retrievers I'll know I made it to the right place.
My Pyr is one eigth Maremma. They're the Italian version of Pyrenees. Saw a photo and they are even more massive than Pyrs. Anyone know any more?
I give my Border Collie A1+ for smarts & adventure, but not as friendly as other dog breeds I've known. I adore my BC & take her everywhere.
My Boston Terrier has always been my "favorite little meanie"..
For those in who have never had a Boston Terrier in their lives: They're clever, quick little roughhousers who seem to think they're Pitbulls.. Even in her teens our Boston doesn't give the impressions she's slowed down any. We can see she has, because we know her very, very well.. People are always amazed by how old she actually is.
Bostons are *very* hard on toys (no,.. really) and they don't get tired of things easily. Destroying toys is their go to comfort.
Then my husband was diagnosed with cancer.. As he got more frail she's become gentler and really careful with him.. She still roughhouses with everyone else, but she lets my husband win, and clearly modifies how much she pulls and how heavily she shakes her head tugging etc. and shows the kind of careful behavior I never would have thought her capable of.. and it's clearly deliberate. Sometimes she will bring him literally all the toys she has, one by one and put them on the bed with him. She snuggles up, grooms etc. (And of course loves to be "clean up on isle four when food gets spilled lol!).. there is a gentleness to her
I've seen her react that way towards a scared young dog we puppy-sat for a night or two as well. The moment she realized the other little dog was *scared* she started crawling on her belly, bringing toys, literally trying to stuff them into the other doggie's mouth, and bring mouthfuls of kibble and drop it in front of the pup.
(Normally she will grab a towel or a sock, or a pillow etc. and drag it over to her kibble to "hide" it under a pile of items that are *totally* inconspicuous.. (and then guard it with her little life, "definitely nothing to see here, get away from my random pile, definitely no snacks under there, nope! Now GO.AWAY!")
She's never gone without, but it seems to make her happy to make little stashes like that. Her bringing food *to you* is unusual for her.. but she does it.
With the scared dog though, she deliberately *gave* her food, she brought it to the doggie.. and toys too, and she even grabbed a blanket and pulled it over the pupper.
"I'll protect you!" Style.
They were playing together in no time. Like: "Here! See? I'm not scary. Have a snack, now let's play with toys!!! Play with me! Grrr! (Don't be scared! I'm faking! I'll totally let you win!) 🥰
She cares.. and it is absolutely amazing to see.. Golden retrievers are gentle sweet dogs. My first dog was a Golden, and she was amazing! They are gentle and sweet with everyone all of the time and love being that way. My Boston is *kind* because she understands empathy. She will *change her behavior deliberately* to make *you* more comfortable.. and that is kind of astonishing to me...
Surprise to me I've had labs, golden retrievers and they are great but recently a rescue that's 55% Strafford terrier, lab, spaniel and other. 39lb female and she is the most absolutely loving I've had 50 years. Hands down. Sometimes rescues are really a diamond in the ruff. Lol
"Sometimes rescues are really a diamond in the ruff."
Like humans, no dogs are born with bad intentions or behaviors. It's their owners(for dogs) who mistreat them that brings out their bad side, no fault of their own as they're just reacting to the action/s towards them.
@@metarugia3981 What about dogs that kill children?
I love dogs
I love all breeds of dogs. Pure breeds and mixed breeds. But I have 2 German Shepherds and I would say that they are in my opinion the best breed of dog in the world. Trusting, loving and loyal. Love my dogs.
I have 3 German Shepards (ages 5yrs, 3 yrs and 1 year old). I grew up with them. I’ve had mixed breeds, Labs & Border Collies. I love them all. German Shepards are very trustworthy. One of the Border Collies (my ex’s dog) was very nervous. I didn’t raise him like I did with my other animals. I give GSD’s a 10/10 for versatility. Oh, except, I can’t put them in my purse. 🤷♀️
German Shepherds are simply the best.
@@bluekiwi1239 I must say that I agree with you 100% that German Shepherds are beyond the shadow of a doubt the best pure bred dog on the market. Have a great day and God bless.
I totally agree with you. Along with the Rottie
@@lisalefleur2977 I must say that a Rottweiler is a beautiful species of dog. Never had a Rott. But have been around a few and they are very intelligent.
I am surprised the rough collie wasn’t included. Excellent family pet!
My daughter's Golden is the smartest, sweetest, most playful and loving dog I've ever met. Leaving Goldens out calls your whole list into question.
Newfoundlands are adorable- outstandingly gentle and love attention and hugs.
It appears the answer is that everyone believes their dog is the kindest. That's the magic of dogs and the strong bond we have with them. As was said so often, every dog is capable of being kind, if treated with kindness. Admittedly, some dogs have a calmer temperament, but that is not the same thing as kindness. We love them because they are ours and we are theirs.
My puppy is a German Wirehair Pointer & is the sweetest creature I’ve ever had. He’s my shadow as I heal from back surgery & he literally hugs me with his front legs; he’s a 70 lb 9 month old bundle of love.💙
My neighbor has had flat coated retrievers,I've never seen such a friendly dog. One had a puppy hang onto his tail,he just ran around trying getting puppy off his tail,he didn't even growl at the puppy.
I had a Border Collie mix growing up, she was the best dog I ever had, she would walk by my side when I'd be outside, she was so gentle and soft, but also feisty when the need arose. She only ever bit another dog once and that was because it was charging at my sister, and she just bit it on the leg. She was a good dog and I hope I'll see her when I pass one day
I had a Border Collie-Greyhound mix that I trained to as my mobility service dog. He was smart as a whip and had boundless energy. Pepper has been for nearly 8 years and I still miss him. I haven't had a dog like him, in temperament, energy, or smarts.
I have a Cavalier King Charles spaniel. She has the sweetest temperament of any dog I’ve met.
I have two Cavaliers and of all the different dog breeds I have owned throughout my life I can honestly say that if I had a Cavalier as my first dog I would never have any other breed. My boys are so loving and make my life complete.
If you want Labrador retriever personality in a small dog then a Cavalier is it!
I love my Cavy’s so much. I too have had lots of other dogs and my Cavalier’s are the sweetest ever.♥️
Are Cavaliers on the list?
I was blessed with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and she is so sweet I've never seen a dog like her. They just have to be one of the top nicest and sweetest dogs ever.
It's definitely true about the border collie.. lost my border collie 20 years ago and still miss her
12 years working at a veterinarian's office and having dealt with several thousand dogs, I would consider myself a moderate expert on the temperament of the bulk of breeds. The kindest dogs tend to be the bigger dogs with a couple notable exceptions. I've seen 5 King Charles spaniels (medium/small dog) and they've always been eager to please. Samoyed is one of the sweetest dogs ever and they tend to love anyone and everything so i'll agree with that one. I've never met a mean golden retriever or Australian Shepard. Aussies tend to only listen to their master though so if you've got one bonded to you, you've got a good dog for their entire life. The groomer where I worked had an aussie that was so smart that she learned commands in 4 different languages and even hand commands. Took me about a year and a half before she finally started listening to me a little bit so I could take her out for a potty break.
Yes, Cavalier Spaniels are the sweetest small dogs, hands down. Goldens are tied with them for most affectionate. I did meet one unbalanced Golden that attacked another dog, but his owner was a complete basket case, sadly I don't think he was trained or socialized at all.
I’ve met a mean Golden Retriever. Nasty dog lunged at me when I was walking to get my coonhound inside. I don’t care about the circumstances either; it was in my yard when it lunged at me.
I love all dogs. I currently have a chihuahua. She is loving and loyal. Many have said chihuahua’s are a 1 person dog. Not mine, she loves each person in my family for different reasons. She makes a friend wherever she goes.
🤫she doesn’t know she’s a dog; she truly believes she’s a Princess.
I have a chihuahua too. “Sadie” I am glad she’ll have a long life
I’ve had many dogs over my lifetime, and the sweetest were my St Bernard and my Greyhound. Both rescues.
Yes!!!! I’ve had both, and you are 100% correct!!!
I, too, was totally surprised that the Golden Retriever was not on the list. ?????
When I was growing up, we had a St. Bernard that always wanted to play "charge" when I was leaving the barn at night. He'd stand by the house which was about 40 or so feet away. Then he'd run as fast as he could towards me and then turn at the last second. Scared me every time. I think Brandy loved it though.
I got a wonderful French Bulldog from an animal shelter. She has helped me with her loving compassion and also with her playful charme through a very difficult time in my life. We are a perfect Team now and I very much hope, that she will enjoy a long healthy life by my side.
My Bernese mountain dog has been the best breed I have ever owned! Affectionate, loves children and comical. After owning other breeds I’m sold. Not only are their temperaments wonderful they are absolutely beautiful
I am so glad someone said it. I was shocked that the Bernese Mountain Dog wasn't on the list. I love my big love bug!
I totally agree that the Bernese Mountain Dog should be on any list. They are not only gentle and kind to everyone but are such a beautiful breed. We had our Berner for 12 and one half years. They are truly sweet and gentle giants. We also have a nine year old Saint Bernard .
I got a border collie she is the sweetie pie
Current two dogs are a black lab and a wire fox terrier mix. Previously had basset hounds. All have had sweet dispositions!
what a beautiful border collie
Yes Golden Retrievers first ! I have never seen such gentle caring affectionate creatures as Goldies. I have always had Jack Russells, huge dogs in tiny bodies, can be a terror but oh so loving and smart. If I could I would have a goldie but as I get older I have less energy and strength so a smaller dog suits me. I lost mine so now have none, feels wrong.
I own a golden doodle and her and all the others I have met are so sweet and caring
Rough Collies SHOULD be on this list. My RC was the kindest, sweetest, gentlest dog I have ever had. My cocker spaniel even though he is loved and spoiled rotten, is ornery with the cats.
@ Jill! YES!:))) Rough Collies ARE SO Overlooked:(! WONDERFUL, KIND, SMART DOGS!♥️♥️♥️🐾🐾♥️
I agree, had a RC now have a Border Collie. The RC was reliably friendly. My BC, not so much.
That is so funny about your spoiled cocker spaniel! But I have never heard of a "rough" collie. What type of breed is this?
@@Azinya that is SO interesting! I want to know more about Rough Collies.
@@susanm7925 Rough Collie, is the collie in the "Lassie" movies. The long fur. Very smart, very gentle, good family dog & herds, like the Border collie & other shepherd dogs.
I have a border Aussie and he’s simply incredible! I’ve owned all kinds of breeds and he’s by far the best. He’s funny, playful and incredibly kind.
I have a Labrador and he is so sweet
I ment labradoodle
Newfies are my favorite. I have a 10 yr old female Landseer. She has such a kind, calm disposition and loves children❤
The Cavalier King Charles should be on that list. It's the kindest dog to human I know. Great with kids and not overly excited.
I didn't see your comment and I just said that. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is super sweet and wouldn't hurt anyone. They're mellow and sweet for sure.
I have a poodle rescue dog that is so smart. She is a mini and so much fun.. I’ve had a lot of dogs, but this one takes the prize for being smart, funny and sweet. I read that they are like the second smartest dog after the border collie and I can’t say enough about how sweet she is and full blooded from a rescue facility. I am blessed.❤️❤️
When l was 30 years younger, l had a Black Lab, an Irish Setter, a Golden Retriever, and an Alaskan Husky, in that order but not all at the same time.
All were great family dogs and easily trained.
WONFDERFUL PICKS....
Bernese mountain dog is the very best of all. I've had three of them. So much love with four paws and joyful tail...
I miss especially my first BMD (1986 - 1995). Never had such a pal again...

We bred Samoyeds. Very kind to babies and children. Gorgeous and sweet. Best family dog.
I had a Pitbull and he was the nicest, good natured, loyal dog i have ever had. He passed away almost 2 years ago and miss him everyday. They have a bad rap BECAUSE of there owners who want them to be mean and protect. Its sad because the shelters are overloaded with Pits that people dont want to adopt because they think they are all bad, it really sad.
I volunteer at an animal shelter. We get a lot of pit bull/mixes. They tend to be so sweet and loving. Pitties have become my favorite breed. They're fabulous pets. Bad rap due to a handful of assholes that train them to be fighters. Very sad indeed.
The problem is, every pit owner says that after they finally attack a person or animal. There are sweet pits, but not enough of them to get a sweet reputation., and won't for a while.
@@richardcole786
Thete's nothing cuter than a smiling pittie !
I have a Yorkie/Bichon he is now 15 yrs old, although not very affectionate, they are very loyal and smart.
.
Minie aussie
Minnie austraian shepherd. The most loyal, affectionate, loving dog. These dogs are brilliant!
"The most loyal, affectionate, loving dog."
You do know these traits can be from any breed, not just a specific one?
I've had different breeds with these traits and more.
I agree I have a miniature Australian shepherd and she is just wonderful little girl she is loving and energetic and loves people and other animals
Was so glad to see my favorite dog on this list, I knew I was right about how wonderful and cute these dogs are. The Bassett Hounds are just so cute with those big floppy ears, I love them so much.
Boxer - - most loving, obedient, for family with children.
I have a Beago (part Golden Retriever part Beagle). He is a very happy guy. He was attacked by a dog a year ago (in a dog park none the less) so he now is nervous around just about every noise. He is 10 yrs old so he doesn’t run around as much but he is still happy around people. He loves people and is great with small children.
I'm owned by my 4th Samoyed and can't imagine my life without one!
