Are Harrier Dogs Playful Dogs?

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

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

You should remember that all dogs are individuals - not all Labs are obsessed 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 affect his level of liveliness. Even with these breeds, you should have a vet inspect your canine to make sure there are no underlying conditions before initiating any exuberant activities.
