Eileen was such a lovely girl, I’m so sorry for your loss. I recently suffered a similar loss with my noon companion, Grace, who also had a sudden and aggressive cancer. I completely agree about the retrievers, they’re fun, smart and love their people above and beyond.
We have a beautiful hybrid flock guardian breed. She is a Great Pyrenees Anatolian shepherd. So calm, sweet, and gentle. Not demanding at all. She is just happy chilling in our home, as well as enjoys a nice 2 mile walk
I totally agree with first two choices as I’ve had great experiences with both. Never seen the mastiff but I’m sure they’re great. I train and work my neighbour’s black lab and compared to my own Australian shepherd he’s a perfect gentleman with all the energy of an athlete and none of the stubborn hyperactivity of the Aussie. (Don’t get me wrong, I love my Aussie)
We have a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, and he is the best dog. They are the smallest retrievers, he's about 40 pounds, but he's got all the good retriever traits. Another option in the retriever family.
I wanted another English/show-style lab but couldnt find one I could afford. I bought a 50/50, then discovered we were soon to have a great-grandson and wondered of our young pup would be "too much" for a baby/toddler. No worries - when the baby dropped from standing to the floor, our young pup went to her belly, too!
Will you nailed it completely there English Mastiffs are gentle giants , I love Golden and English Retrievers and Labradors they are super friendly and gentle . I have had Cavaliers for decades our neighbours dog was a GR one of my Cavaliers fussed around him obsessively constantly wanting to give him a clean or snuggle up to him Harry was unbelievably gentle and kind to my little Cavaliers . As for Cavaliers I totally agree with your assessment it’s absolutely 💯 spot on 👍👍
Go the cavs! We've got one. She is the best little dog I could ever have asked for. Also, my experience with them is they are very good with cats. We have three cats, so being good with cat was a must. But honestly, I can't fault them. I have to be honest and say the only downside is that you have to watch out for health problems. If you get one, make sure they have been genetically screened for heart problems, and expect skin and dental problems. But I have found that if you go ala Naturelle with improving their baseline health, and go for a more integrative, wellness based approach and do your research into raw feeding and natural ways of improving baseline health, then you can deal with those health problems very easily.
My pittie/staffie (she was a rescue so not entirely sure) was so gentle to everyone - little kids, adults, her sister cat and all dogs. She did want to chase squirrels though.
Anyone out there have a Brittany? I grew up with one and now have two. They are fabulous family dogs, they have the energy to play with my kids, and because they are a hunting dog they are so eager to please and easy to train! But I don’t see them around very often. I think they are completely overlooked and we need to put a spotlight on them!
We've had several different breeds over the years. Our very favorites were two female Airedales. They were sisters. The smartest, most loving, sweetest and most protective dogs. Great with our grandkids too. And no shedding Next best, English Labs. Basically the same attributes as the Airedales, except they shed a lot.
What’s your thoughts on the Vizsla, we got one and he’s an amazing dog (although very high energy). Not a super common dog but would be interested to see your ranking on hunting dog breeds!!!
I have a question, we have a American akita puppy she is 10 weeks old ,and to be honest it's going better as we thought, however we struggle about the fact how much she can walks outside?our previous dog sint Bernard is past away 25-11-2024 at age of 3 years and 10 months, AD ED And serious arthritis, we are afraid for long walks ,because what happened to him,can anyone help me with this?
@ sorry to hear that but my schnauzer has never shown any signs of aggression with people or other dogs. Never heard him snarl or growl just bark to tell us someone is at the door. Hes 8 and a real sweet ❤️
American Pit Bull Terriers are the greatest dog and nothing else beats it. However I like all dogs and one of the dogs we had growing up was a King Charles Spaniel. He as a top little dog and great for us kids.
@@NoName-t7e they definitely are great dogs we no longer have them as I don’t like having to tie up a dog we’re on farm land and there prey drive will get them shot we’ve got American bulldogs there amazing great with kids stock got rotty to def trust the bully’s more with the kids though
I have one. And I would definitely say, first up, make sure that when you get one, that they are genetically screened for the heart problems. Another thing I would definitely recommend is a fully raw fed diet. Keep grains, commercial pet foods as much as possible out of the diet and go for raw meat, raw organ meats, a lot of green tripe, and raw, meaty bones. problems with E. coli and cell Manella can be mitigated by normal safe meat handling practices. but when you think about it, dogs are carnivorous by nature, they are designed to eat meat, and they are designed to eat it raw. I have found that raw feeding Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's this way definitely goes for optimal health results and improving baseline health. I had to learn this, that unfortunately, big pet food companies do sponsor a lot of veterinary nutritional training… Or what passes for it… So it pays to do research if you want to improve the baseline health of these dogs. And what I have learnt is to look at what they would have eaten Historicle before the invention of man-made commercial pet food. Another thing, I also have my cav on fermented cod liver oil. I cannot speak highly enough of this product as well. It is so good for both humans and dogs alike. And it is so good at promoting better baseline health as well as being good for so many parts of the body including heart, teeth, gut, joints and all the rest of it. honestly, I can't speak highly enough of this stuff. Her baseline health has improved tenfold since I put her on it and since I have put her on a fully raw fed diet. Another thing as well is that these little dogs are prone to dental problems. I would always tell people, because I found this out the hard way, to get onto the dental health as soon as you get the dog… Literally from the minute you bring it home. we found this really cool product called TEEF, and I can't recommend it enough. It is very easy to use as you just put it in there drinking water. Basically, it is a culture of the bacteria in their mouth which encourages the good bacteria to propagate and discourages the bad bacteria in their mouth. You put it in their drinking water, it's water soluble, and it helps so much. Our vet recommended it to us, and honestly I can't speak highly enough of it. If you just google it, you will find it. it is a natural product, and my experience is that with these little dogs, the more à la Naturelle you go, the healthy out they are going to be because they have very sensitive little systems. So that is why our vet recommended this particular product to us, because it goes for a more natural approach. And yes, the skin problems with these dogs are real. I have bad skin, and have had skin problems all my life. So when I got her and sort what condition her skin was in, I was in home territory. And I do with her skin what I do with mine. I minimise as much as possible any commercial skincare products. I make my own dog shampoo just as I make my own body washes and hair shampoos. If you google home-made dog shampoo, there are some great recipes out there, but because these dogs are so prone to dry and flaky skin, I have found the recipes that contain oatmeal the best. I also have told vets and have it on her microchip record that she can't use any topical flea treatments. If she gets fleas, we have to use the oral flea treatments. The topical flea treatment should never be used on dogs with sensitive skins which includes Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's most of the time. I have however discovered a natural fleet oil treatment that I can put on her skin quite safely, so it's like so many other things with these little dogs, the more à la Naturelle you go, the better it is for them. Sorry, I meant flea oil. I think because Will is a behavioural list, he probably isn't thinking in that sort of realm. But honestly, this is where my mind goes… Wellness. And honestly, if you do these sorts of approaches with these little dogs, you just can't go wrong. Everyone compliments me on how healthy she looks, and even the vet is very impressed with how well she is doing for a breed with so many knownhealth problems. Again, taking the approach of genetic screening for the heart issues, and then using natural, wellness based and integrative ways to manage the more minor health problems, you can have a pretty healthy dog. You just have to be more proactive about their health than you perhaps may have to with other breeds. And it all depends on whether you are prepared to put in the research and the effort in keeping your dog healthy or whether you are just content with taking all mainstream advice at face value and not taking any individual responsibility. I suppose that goes for all dog breeds really, but particularly this particular breed.
@@milanka882 you cannot just consider behaviour when recommending a dog breed....it is not the only relevant consideration. People want easy dogs which this certainly is behaviourly, but health issues are not easy...or cheap.
So glad that you recommended the cavalier. Trying to persuade the husband to get one. 😄 Can also agree with the lab being a great choice. My friend has a black lab and he doesn't have a nasty bone in his body.
they have tonnes of health issues...Norway even banned breeding of them....one of the most unhealthiest breeds, just beware...could be lots of vet bills. Even good breeders cannot guarantee their health.
My grandad used to swear by Cairn terriers as the best family dogs. He used to say they could play endlessly with the kids all day, then curly up on your lap at night. I don't know what you think though. My dad liked the collie/lab/heinz 57 mix of a black dog with a white patch on its chest. Not sure what you'd describe that one as. I quite like a tibetan spaniel myself. I've found them patient and low energy most of the time.
My inlaws always have a cairn. I'm not impressed. Too much terrier. Their owners aren't good trainers though, so maybe with better training they would be good family dogs.
@@beefbased89 The downside, for me, with cairns and the reason I don't have one myself (sorry, grandad), is that they are very high energy and dumb as mud. If you have kids who can run them ragged every day, or a job that you can take them with you and exercise them on the go, they are great. But they need a lot of extra training because their prey drive and energy drives are so high. They are not as dumb as Jack Russells, but they are too independent for me to risk getting bored. Tibetan Spaniels, on the other hand, while still being pretty independent, are smart enough to be trainable, and don't really get bored per se. Put a chair by the window and let them sit on it and watch the world go by, and they are set for the day. Fluff doesn't even like going out for a walk, he's more excited to get back indoors than he is to go walkies.
our neighbors had a cocker spaniel when i was a kid. i never opened the fence without an adult and that dog on a leash. he never bit me but i always walked him and brushed him he was my buddy. no other kids were safe.. he even bit the kids that lived in the house and the adults.
No mention of poodles? 🤔 I haven't seen that many videos of yours so maybe you mention poodles sometime... They come in four different sizes (in Sweden) and are very positive and allround dogs. I just lost my standard poodle girl Eila to cancer. 😪
Cavalier’s have fantastic temperaments it’s true. But they also don’t have the same life expectancy as dogs their size. They live more like 10 years because they often have a lot of health issues. Not trying to deter anyone just do some research on their health before getting one.
If you're looking for a Cav (or any other brachycephalic dog), make sure it can breathe easily. Please DONT perpetuate over-bred 'cute' breeds with inborn problems
This is true. And a big reason I go for well bred mixes with those types, never let me down and was always healthier. I had a pug beagle mix that was bred from two very healthy parents, and the old boy made it to 17 years old with only some minor hip issues.
We’ve had Cavaliers since 1977 all but one made it past double figures with all but one getting past 14 years . Due diligence is key always go to a reputable breeder who health checks their breeding stock yearly . Every Cavalier I’ve owned I have seen the Veterinary Clinics health assessments of the parents of the pups I’ve had. Cavaliers have a shorter nose than springers or cockers however they do have a snout , the King Charles Spaniel as opposed to the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (different breed altogether) has a squashed nose like a bulldog or a pug . Cavaliers are generally healthy little dogs if bred correctly with outcrossing into the line . One breeder walked her two Rubys 60 miles in two days she was doing a charity walk in Southern England a famous walk along Ridgeway . When she got home absolutely exhausted after a little sleep the Cavaliers were up and out on the lead !! They are very fit little dogs they were bred down from sporting Spaniels and are super adaptable they will walk your socks off or sit on the settee or on your lap till the cows come home . An amazing little dog that’s got a huge heart and a lot of dog in a small and manageable package !!

I love Cockers.....BUT I will agree that the English Cocker is not a good dog for someone who does not have the time to put in to them. I am older and still quite active so it is a good fit for me. I was always a lab or lab mix sort of girl when one day it dawned on me that getting a really big dog might not be the smartest choice for someone approaching retirement. I decided to stay with hunting dogs bc I have had them all my life and understand them. I wanted a Lab....only smaller. I went with the English Cocker.......and she is like a Lab......only MUCH, MUCH smarter with 10 times the energy. I like animal training and want a dog that is adaptable and versatile with a lot of spunk and zip.....she is my ideal dog. Some people call them hyper.....I call those smarts and energy working drive.
I can't express how wonderful, of a little dog, a Havanese is. Smart, easy to potty train and sturdy enough for children. Mine loved farm living. I've had two. One who lived to be 18. She was super healthy until the end. Someone broke into my house and stole out of his kennel. Twenty years later and I'm still spitting angry about it.
Anyone own a Burnese Mountain Dog? How are they on the daily? Easy to take care of or are they high maintenance? Any major breed health concerns to look out for? I'm currently doing some important repairs on my newly bought old home, but once I get those out of the way, I plan on getting a dog. My top 3 favorite breeds are Rough Hair Collies (love the Lassie-look and every single one I've met has been absolute sweethearts) Golden Retrievers (My one and only dog I've ever owned. Miss you Rufus! You were amazing!) Burnese Mountain Dogs (Like collies, love their looks and I've never met one that wasn't a lovable oaf). As I mentioned, it will be a little while before I pick up one of those 3, but would like to get my research out of the way earlier than later.
Had a rough collie as a kid he’d was a good smart dog. Now got a Golden Retriever had him for 7 years. Such a good buy. Bernese are lovely looked after one she was stubborn and slow as she got old and life span not great so I would say Golden Retriever all day long so much fun 🐶🐶
Yes they do, but as someone who owns one myself, I can tell you that with some genetic screening for heart issues, and some research, now's, and A readiness to have a proactive, integrative, natural and wellness based approach to managing their health, then you can keep them pretty healthy.
@@jjf9020 xl bully’s should have never been bred the foundation dog produces pups that turned on there owners he is so inbred it’s not funny that’s why American bulldog breeders refused to use him so they used him to create xl bully’s dumbest shit iv ever seen genetics are important and that is one example of breeder for size looks over temperment and health and people wonder why there seeing them kill there owners also what’s a nanny dog
@Hannah-qe9ht so sad. They re best dogs to place with new borns,toddlers. All these daily killed babies statistic is lies. Pitbull was bred only to nanny and nurture new borns.
I’ll admit I’ve been unsure about pit bulls or I guess my own ability to bring one up properly. I reallly didn’t want to fail. But two years ago we ended up with this little puppy. I wasn’t sure what she was but we stayed consistent in training. Kept good boundaries. She grew up with our two toddlers. She’s a red nosed American pit bull terrier and the smartest most energetic ball of fun. She gets games and plays with our kids. Best dog ever
I have a Cavvie and a Lab mix. This is so very true. They are such good dogs, each in her own way.
Eileen was such a lovely girl, I’m so sorry for your loss. I recently suffered a similar loss with my noon companion, Grace, who also had a sudden and aggressive cancer. I completely agree about the retrievers, they’re fun, smart and love their people above and beyond.
Love the choices but I’d like to add a Saint Bernard to the mix. Mine is like Beethoven to our family of 6 and a neighborhood loaded with kids.
We have a beautiful hybrid flock guardian breed. She is a Great Pyrenees Anatolian shepherd. So calm, sweet, and gentle. Not demanding at all. She is just happy chilling in our home, as well as enjoys a nice 2 mile walk
I totally agree with first two choices as I’ve had great experiences with both. Never seen the mastiff but I’m sure they’re great.
I train and work my neighbour’s black lab and compared to my own Australian shepherd he’s a perfect gentleman with all the energy of an athlete and none of the stubborn hyperactivity of the Aussie. (Don’t get me wrong, I love my Aussie)
Our golden is the best dog. Literally obsessed with her. She loves people and is so loving.
I have a golden too and she’s very fearful dog 😭 she loves us but she doesn’t like other people and other dogs
We have a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, and he is the best dog. They are the smallest retrievers, he's about 40 pounds, but he's got all the good retriever traits. Another option in the retriever family.
Love the Dogue de Bordeaux. Best dogs ever. So gentle low energy and naturally protective. Loved family especially children

I was always a lab or lab mix sort of girl when one day it dawned on me that getting a really big dog might not be the smartest choice for someone approaching retirement. I decided to stay with hunting dogs bc I have had them all my life and understand them. I wanted a Lab....only smaller. I went with the English Cocker.......and she is like a Lab......only MUCH, MUCH smarter with 10 times the energy. I like animal training and want a dog that is adaptable and versatile with a lot of spunk and zip.....she is my ideal dog. Some people call them hyper.....I call those smarts and energy working drive.
My husband is in love with labs and cavalier
Do u even get any shiba inu's you work with and how would rate them ?
I can't express how wonderful, of a little dog, a Havanese is. Smart, easy to potty train and sturdy enough for children. Mine loved farm living. I've had two. One who lived to be 18. She was super healthy until the end. Someone broke into my house and stole out of his kennel. Twenty years later and I'm still spitting angry about it.
Anyone own a Burnese Mountain Dog?
How are they on the daily? Easy to take care of or are they high maintenance? Any major breed health concerns to look out for?
I'm currently doing some important repairs on my newly bought old home, but once I get those out of the way, I plan on getting a dog.
My top 3 favorite breeds are
Rough Hair Collies (love the Lassie-look and every single one I've met has been absolute sweethearts)
Golden Retrievers (My one and only dog I've ever owned. Miss you Rufus! You were amazing!)
Burnese Mountain Dogs (Like collies, love their looks and I've never met one that wasn't a lovable oaf).
As I mentioned, it will be a little while before I pick up one of those 3, but would like to get my research out of the way earlier than later.
Had a rough collie as a kid he’d was a good smart dog. Now got a Golden Retriever had him for 7 years. Such a good buy. Bernese are lovely looked after one she was stubborn and slow as she got old and life span not great so I would say Golden Retriever all day long so much fun 🐶🐶
pick a retriever. such a bold and visionary choice
I would put standard poodles and rough collies on the list.
@@301Goldstar poodles are horrible with kids no pain tolerance makes them snappy
@@shyshy07 They are not. Poodles make great family pets, and they can handle pain. There are videos of poodles being good with kids.
@ from what iv seen there snappy almost like there scared of being hurt like low pain tolerance makes
I can attest to the English mastiff.
You always recommend the same 3 breeds in every vid - any other contenders?
Golden retrievers levels are CRAZY
BASSET HOUND!
Great, how about cavapoo?
@@Fsoukarie poo?
@ that is cavalier and poodle cross breed in the UK
@@Fsoukarie poo is word for feces in usa
@@Fsoukarie if it's a cross,it's not a breed. It's mix
Standard Poodle
I have a golden retriever can’t go wrong.
Strong snake 06
Cavalier king charles spaniels have lots have health problems too last i heard😅
Yes they do, but as someone who owns one myself, I can tell you that with some genetic screening for heart issues, and some research, now's, and A readiness to have a proactive, integrative, natural and wellness based approach to managing their health, then you can keep them pretty healthy.
@milanka882 ahh, good to know! They are very cute little dogs❤️
naaaaah a Great Dane!!! xx ;)
But Dog de Bordoux?
xl bully mixed back nanny dog
@@jjf9020 xl bully’s should have never been bred the foundation dog produces pups that turned on there owners he is so inbred it’s not funny that’s why American bulldog breeders refused to use him so they used him to create xl bully’s dumbest shit iv ever seen genetics are important and that is one example of breeder for size looks over temperment and health and people wonder why there seeing them kill there owners also what’s a nanny dog
Dirty warrior 05
Cavaliers have a horrible health, would never recommend.
Golden retriever the dog your most likely to be bitten by in the uk no thanks I will stick with my Staffordshire bull terriers thanks
Why no pitbull in a list? They were specifically bred to nanny children.
Probably because he's in england and they are sadly banned there so he may not have had as much personal experience with them.
@Hannah-qe9ht so sad. They re best dogs to place with new borns,toddlers. All these daily killed babies statistic is lies. Pitbull was bred only to nanny and nurture new borns.

I’ll admit I’ve been unsure about pit bulls or I guess my own ability to bring one up properly. I reallly didn’t want to fail. But two years ago we ended up with this little puppy. I wasn’t sure what she was but we stayed consistent in training. Kept good boundaries. She grew up with our two toddlers. She’s a red nosed American pit bull terrier and the smartest most energetic ball of fun. She gets games and plays with our kids. Best dog ever
Incorrect they never were. That pro pit bull propaganda. They were developed to Kill things.
How about the Continental Bulldog?
