    Wishing to bring a canine into your home? Some dog breeds are easier to own than others, specifically for novice dog parents.

    To identify the easiest pet dog breeds to own, we took a look at an assortment of essential attributes. And you might be surprised by the characteristics that matter most. You might think you want a smart dog. But very intelligent dogs aren't always the easiest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's desire to follow instructions than his potential to comprehend them.

    You might expect an energetic dog will be the easiest to keep healthy. A dog with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will really be easier to handle. Plus, choosing a dog with an easygoing temperament - and minimal grooming needs - will go a very long way toward keeping you sane.

    Top 5 Easiest Dog's To Own

    1. Beagle - The beagle is among the top 10 most popular breeds for good reason: He has a bigger-than-life character and a merry nature that make him a warm and cheerful companion.

    2. Border Terrier - The border terrier is very "joyful," "plucky," and "affectionate." This dog has a moderate energy level but a more laid-back character than many other terriers.

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow pet dog, you can't make a mistake with the bulldog. You can effectively train your bulldog - particularly if you use lots of praise and rewards and maintain a sense of humor.

    4. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - They can be loyal hiking partners or shameless couch potatoes, relying on the owner's character - as long as they get an enjoyable walk each day.

    5. Basset Hound - These medium-sized dogs aren't very energetic. And while most dog owners won't put the basset hound's hunting prowess to the test, they'll appreciate the breed's absolute patience with children.

Koolie Information

The Koolie is as diverse as the country it originates from, Australia. In the north of Queensland and New South Wales they are tall, medium boned and agile, bred for mustering Simmental cattle and Brahma over many miles. In The Hunter Valley region and Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, they're thicker set and shorter to flush low lying cattle from the dense bush and gullies. In Victoria, one finds the smallest variety of the Koolie. Koolies are bred to meet the needs of the stockman, grazier and farmer, all agile, all with the same ability to adapt to any situation, all with a strong willingness drive. The Koolie vary from 40 to 60 centimetres (16 to 24 in) in size and are a contrast of coat, colour and body type, although they are merled coat pattern. The solid red or black Koolie are often mistaken for Kelpies, and some bi coloured Koolie have been taken for Border Collies by the general public, rarely if ever by breeders. As all of these breeds share Collie ancestry, they resemble each other.

Graziers, stockmen and dairy farmers across Australia since days long past have typically selected breeds which display the abilities required to meet their working needs. The temperament found in a Koolie is a culmination of these much sought-after abilities. The optimal worker possesses a combination of working skills and bonding temperament. Owners will be rewarded through the Koolie's diligence in varied roles such as in work situations, sporting activities, loyal service or the time honoured role of companionship. Known to be patient, temperate, dedicated, with a strong sense of willingness and devotion; the Koolie is not naturally aggressive but can demonstrate dominance. They show an untiring enthusiasm for work and an admirable hardiness when the job or circumstance requires.
