Of course, all breeds of dogs have needs. But there are four-legged friends that are easy to care for and train, require less exercise, or only rarely bark and drool. They are not only suitable as beginner dogs, but also as ideal companions for seniors and children.
Every Dog Has Needs
First of all, it should be clear that adopting or buying a dog should always be well thought out. A dog is a living being that always needs a minimum of attention, care, activity, and affection. Anyone who does not regularly have time for another family member in their everyday life should reconsider their decision.
Easy Care Dogs
Basically, however, there are some dogs that are easier to keep than others. For example, because their fur needs less care, they shed less, they are more comfortable and easy to train. Independent four-legged friends are less likely to seek your proximity or can stay alone a little longer than cuddly lap dogs.
In the following, we present ten dog breeds that have one or more of these characteristics and can therefore be considered easy to care for.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
As its name suggests, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a real cavalier. This always friendly little dog can easily adapt to different lifestyles and live in a senior household as well as in an active extended family.
At home, he is calm, inconspicuous, and almost never organizes yap concerts. The upbringing of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is very easy thanks to its balanced nature.
As the ideal companion dog, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel seeks the closeness of its owners every day and is happy to be petted extensively. Its longer fur should also be combed through every day to keep it nice and silky.
Bernese Mountain Dog
This gentle giant loves his family company and therefore needs quite a bit of attention. Thanks to his great intelligence and his balanced nature, he is very easy to train. Since he doesn’t have a great hunting instinct and is very attached to his social group, you don’t have to worry about him fretting.
Nevertheless, the Bernese Mountain Dog needs a lot of exercises and the care of its coat should not be neglected.
German Mastiff
Despite its enormous size, the Great Dane is a relatively easy-care dog. She is an incredibly gentle and calm Molossian who can be happy even in an apartment. The Great Dane is an active dog but does not need a lot of exercise, and dog sports should be avoided anyway due to their size.
The Great Dane barks very rarely, sheds little, and hardly needs grooming. However, this Great Dane is very affectionate and always wants to be with its owners.
Italian Greyhound
This very small Italian greyhound is incredibly gentle and friendly. He has only a moderate need for exercise and can live very well in an apartment. He attaches himself very strongly to his owner, but with enough training can remain alone for short distances.
The Italian Greyhound barks very little and its short fur hardly needs any attention.
Mastiff
The impressive mastiff can weigh up to 100 kilograms, but inside is a calm and gentle dog. He is not burdock, rather unsportsmanlike, and gets tired quickly while playing. His hunting instinct is practically non-existent and he is usually indifferent to strangers.
Nevertheless, there is also a little sensitive person in the Mastiff who does not like to be separated from his family for long periods of time.
Pug
It is not for nothing that you come across the pug more and more often in Germany’s big cities. This small, friendly, and funny Molossian is the perfect apartment dog. He is an intelligent dog with no hunting instinct and is open to strangers. The pug barks little and never runs away.
This little four-legged friend has little urge to move and doesn’t need long hikes to be happy. But he is very close to his family and loves to cuddle and play with them.
Newfoundland
Although it is one of the large breeds of dogs, the Newfoundland dog can get used to living in an apartment with its reticent nature. He’s happier in the country, of course. But he barks little and does not fall into the rage of destruction. Thanks to his excellent obedience, he is easy to train and suitable for beginners.
Shar-Pei
The balanced Shar-Pei has an independent character and is very autonomous and adaptable. If his keepers are rather calm, he will be happy to adapt with his relaxed manner. However, his family should be consistent in bringing up their children.
Its wrinkles don’t need special care, but they should always be kept in mind. The Shar-Pei shed little fur.
