    In the spirit of a good time, we combed through our breed profiles to find the dog breeds that tend to be the most fun loving. It's crucial 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 bear in mind that all dogs are individuals - not all Labs are obsessed with playing fetch, and there are most likely even some Portuguese Water Dogs who don't like water.

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

The single coat is abundant, straight and silky, tending to stand out from the body. The overall appearance is one of Oriental aristocracy.

The Japanese Chin is a devoted companion, relishing a warm lap as much as a boisterous game. It is sensitive and willing to please, tending to shadow its owner. It is a friend to all: strangers, dogs and pets. Its playfulness and gentleness make it a good child's companion for equally gentle children. The breed has been described as almost catlike — some even climb.
