Are Toy Poodle Dogs Playful Dogs?

One of the things we love about pet dogs is their playfulness. Some breeds are usually more playful than others.

In the spirit of a good time, we combed through our breed profiles to find the dog breeds that tend to be the most enjoyable loving. It's necessary to keep in mind that most of these breeds are not couch potatoes or shrinking violets and, in fact, usually need lots of physical and mental stimulation so they don't become bored.

You should keep in mind that all dogs are individuals - not all Labs are infatuated with playing fetch, and there are probably even some Portuguese Water Dogs who don't like water.

Obviously, with any of these breeds, a dog's health and age will sway his level of liveliness. So even with these breeds, you should have a veterinarian analyze your dog to make sure there are no underlying conditions before initiating any exuberant activities.
