Are Lancashire Heeler Dogs Playful Dogs?

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

In the spirit of a good time, we scoured 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, typically need lots of mental and physical stimulation so they don't become bored.

You should keep in mind that all dogs are individuals - not all Labs are obsessed with playing fetch, and there are possibly 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 vet examine your pet dog to make sure there are no underlying conditions before starting any exuberant activities.
