Are Japanese Terrier Dogs Playful Dogs?

One of the things we appreciate about dogs is their playfulness. Some breeds are generally 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 bear in mind that most of these breeds are not couch potatoes or shrinking violets and, in fact, generally 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 infatuated 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. So even with these breeds, you should have a veterinarian examine your dog to make sure there are no underlying conditions before initiating any exuberant activities.
