Hyper Dogs: These are the 10 most energetic breeds of adorable dog - including the loving Jack Russell 🐕
Potential dog owners should be aware that these pups are likely to get massively excited by everything from the doorbell and postman to you simply getting up off the couch. These are the 10 most energetic and hyper breeds of lovable dog.
If you’ve been thinking about getting a new puppy over the last two years then you’re not alone, with the Kennel Club reporting the number of people welcoming new dogs into their homes has soared over the pandemic.
But choosing the right breed is absolutely essential – for example opting for a small dog if you don’t have much room at home, or a hypoallergenic dog if you suffer from allergies.
Another thing to take into account is that certain breeds are significantly more excitable than others.
So, if you want a dog that will spend most of their time relaxing by the fire and will be unflappable in the face of children, noises, smells, new places and strangers – these are probably not the dogs for you.
On the other hand, there’s never a dull moment with these canines, who will keep you on your toes and will always let you know exactly how they are feeling.
These are the ten breeds of dog that are predisposed to being most excitable.
