There is a media rage going against dogs, showing how brutal they can be for humans; they hardly show the good side of them, as it’s not going to attract TRP.
New buyers are getting scared after looking at those news videos and articles, but let me tell you, like all humans are different from each other, similarly, all dogs have different personalities.
If you are a first-time owner, you probably require a dog that is polite, outgoing, and friendly with everyone. In this post, you are going to get exactly that.
Though, even if I say that these breeds are polite, it cannot be true 100% as it totally depends on the individual dog. I hope it’s clear before I proceed.
1: Golden Retriever
Golden Retrievers are amazing dog breeds known for their amazing temperament and friendly nature. They hardly bite anyone, show a very friendly demeanor, but can sometimes get angry at some things, especially when they are feeling hungry and scared.
I have seen many Golden Retrievers go aggressive when they see people coming into their protective circle.
However, in the long spectrum of things, I have hardly seen any Golden Retriever being aggressive. They are much better than other dog breeds in terms of being friendly, so overall, they are a top choice from my side.
However, you must do some research before bringing any dog breed. Don’t just go on names, do your research first; otherwise, you may end up being with dogs that are not good for your friends and family.
2: Labrador Retriever
They look like close relatives to Golden Retrievers; in fact, they are actually related to them. They belong to the same retriever category. So they were used to find hidden things, hunt small animals, and be with their human companions.
Just like Golden Retrievers, they are amazing dogs known for their insanely friendly temperament. To be honest, I was very confused about whom I should put number one on my list of dog breeds that are really friendly, but I still put Golden Retriever number one. It is because of them being highly popular and having more positive feedback.
Still, Labradors are crazy good. They are fantastic dogs for people looking for dogs that know how to behave in front of family and other dogs.
However, they too can be violent, especially when left untrained, so focusing on their training is necessary if you want to have a dog breed that is nice with everyone.
3: Beagle
These sweet little dogs are one of the most friendly dog breeds. They are really polite with other dogs and human companions. Like every other dog breed on this list, Beagles get attached to their owners quickly, and they just don’t want to stop loving them.
The problem with Beagles is that they can’t live without their human companions. They develop fear of losing; in fact, even one day without them being loved by their owners feels like years to them, making them one of the most popular and friendliest dog breeds.
Beagles are not only popular in western countries, but due to their polite nature, they are becoming massively popular in other countries as well.
If you are planning to bring one Beagle to your family, you can get one without spending much time thinking about whether it would be the right decision or not.
I guarantee that they will be nice with everyone in your family, but there is one problem. As I already said, they need a lot of care and love, so keep that in mind. Also, Beagles can be aggressive if they don’t get enough socialization from an early age.
They are one of my favorite breeds, by the way. I just love them.
4: Poodle
Poodles are highly energetic, friendly, and sweet dogs known for being really gentle with people. They are favorites of many people as they hardly bite anyone, especially when they have received adequate training from puppyhood.
In fact, Poodles with no training are also very much calmer compared to dangerous dog breeds such as Cane Corso or other aggressive dog breeds.
There are Toy Poodles also, which are very small in size, but don’t go by their size — they are highly active dogs that require a lot of playtime daily.
Just like other dog breeds on the list, they too get very attached to their owners, making them prone to separation anxiety.
They are overall a fantastic choice for people looking for family-friendly dog breeds.
Conclusion
See, it all depends. The list that I have presented can help you a lot, but it still depends on you — how you treat a dog, and how much training or time you are willing to give it.
Any dog can be friendly, but the breeds such as Golden Retriever, Labrador, Beagle, and Poodles are some of the most friendly dog breeds.
They are amazing with everyone, have a fantastic demeanor, and are very suitable for family-friendly environments. Overall, I rank them very high if you are looking for dog breeds that are polite and lovable.
