Are Mastiff Dogs Playful Dogs?

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

So, in the spirit of a good time, we combed through our breed profiles to find the canine breeds that tend to be the most fun loving. It's vital to keep in mind that most of these breeds are not couch potatoes or shrinking violets and, in fact, typically 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 influence his level of liveliness. Even with these breeds, you should have a veterinarian analyze your canine to make sure there are no underlying conditions before starting any exuberant activities.
