Weโve shortlisted the best dog breeds for running, cuddling, active owners, apartments, therapy work, endless adoration, and a whole lot more (links below)! We asked Gina DiNardo, American Kennel Club Executive Secretary and expert on all things breed related, for the low down on which breeds are the best fit for a whole array of activities and situations. Read on in this article to find out which dog breeds are the best for cuddling!
Skye Terriers enjoy daily interaction with their family. They love to cuddle and expect it.
English Toy Spaniels are generally quiet, affectionate, easygoing dogs. They particularly enjoy cuddling on laps and snuggling into soft pillows.
Known as the โgentle giant,โ the Great Dane likes to be cuddled all the time and will nudge you with their big head to get your attention.
Mastiffs will try to be a lap dog, despite their size. They are especially affectionate towards children even though they can unintentionally knock them over.
Bichon Frise are the happiest when you cuddle and give them attention. They are extremely attached to their humans and donโt like to be separated from them.
Greyhounds are very affectionate with their humans and are well-mannered quiet house dogs. They love to cuddle, and their favourite spot to be cuddled, is their belly.
These are some of the best dog breeds for dog owners who love to cuddle; thanks Gina! Which one is your favourite?
