    Hoping to bring a dog into your home? Some canine breeds are easier to own than others, particularly for newbie dog parents.

    To find the easiest canine breeds to own, we had a look at a selection of crucial qualities. And you might be shocked by the traits that matter most. For instance, you might think you want a clever dog. But highly smart dogs aren't always the easiest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's desire to follow instructions than his potential to understand them.

    You might assume an active dog will be the easiest to keep healthy. A dog with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will actually be easier to manage. Additionally, 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 joyful and warm buddy.

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

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow dog, you can't go wrong with the bulldog. You can efficiently train your bulldog - specifically if you use lots of praise and incentives and keep a sense of humor.

    4. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - They can be faithful 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 treasure the breed's absolute patience with children.

Plott Hound Information

The Plott is a no-frills dog, built to follow cold trails at speed over rough terrain and through water in all weather, and to grapple with large animals, including bear, once cornered. It is streamlined and agile, yet powerful with great endurance. The hair is short to medium in length, fine to medium coarse in texture. When trailing, the Plott is bold and confident, not backing down from a challenge. Its voice is open and unrestricted, with a loud bugle-like chop or bawl.

Bred for generations as a bear and coon dog, the Plott's first nature is to sniff up a cold trail and follow it to the end. Yet the Plott makes the transition to family dog with ease, being eager to please and loyal. This is an extremely courageous breed, and, as befitting any good hound, it can be headstrong. Plotts can be wary of strangers, but generally warm up quickly. They are not as gregarious with other dogs as some hounds, and true to their bear-hunting heritage, can be ferocious fighters if pushed. They may tree the family cat!
