The Best Dog For You Based on Your Lifestyle and Personality

Tags:

If you love dogs and really want a fur baby of your own, you might be wondering what kind you should get. A whopping 193 dog breeds are currently recognized by the American Kennel Club, so you certainly have a wealth of options to choose from. Luckily, there’s an easy way to narrow those options down. 

Lauren McDevitt, co-founder of Good Dog, a website that helps match prospective owners to reputable shelters and breeders, says it’s super important to consider your lifestyle before bringing a pup home. For instance, if you exercise regularly, you’d probably enjoy a four-legged friend who loves going on your daily jog as much as you do. But if your favorite sport is napping, you’d probably benefit more from a pup who prefers a nice leisurely walk with lots of snuggles on the couch afterward. 

Scroll down to learn more from Lauren about some adorable, adoptable dog breeds, and find out if any of their personalities match yours!
