Introduction

Dogs come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them weigh less than a pound, while others can reach over 200 pounds! They don’t just differ based on their size, either—the personalities of dogs vary greatly too. Some breeds are known for being active and playful while others are more reserved and shy. And then there’s the issue of which dog has the most drool: some pups slobber like crazy while others barely even drip! In this blog post we’ll explore some big-breed dogs who are anything but lazy!

1. Shih Tzu

Shih Tzu

The Shih Tzu is a small dog with a lot of personality. With their fox-like faces and long, flowing hair, this breed loves to please their owners. They are loyal and affectionate but not suited to apartment living, as they need lots of exercise and love spending time outdoors. They are active and playful so they require plenty of attention from their family members.

2. Newfoundland

Newfoundland

The Newfoundland is an enormous, gentle dog with a thick coat of fur. They are excellent swimmers and rescue dogs. Newfoundlands are very affectionate and loyal, making them good companions for children. However, they can be boisterous when playing with children so caution should be taken when small children interact with the Newfoundland.

Newfoundland dogs shed a lot so they need to be brushed regularly to keep their coats healthy. Also, because of the size of their heads or bodies, some Newfoundlands may have trouble breathing due to an elongated soft palate (the tissue at the back of your throat) which can cause respiratory issues as well as other health problems like difficulty swallowing food or even choking on it!

3. Bullmastiff

The Bullmastiff is a large, powerful dog that originated in the United Kingdom. They are very loyal and protective of their families, but they also have a calm temperament that makes them ideal guard dogs.

Bullmastiffs have an average lifespan of 10-12 years depending on their care and environment. This breed is not recommended for first time owners due to the energy level required to raise them properly.

4. Great Dane

One of the biggest dog breeds is the Great Dane. The Great Dane is used as a guard dog, police dog, and therapy dog. They have a short coat and smooth hair.

5. Havanese

If you’re interested in a dog that is both easy to train and friendly, the Havanese is definitely a breed to consider. These dogs are very playful and affectionate, so they make great companions. They love being around people, especially children. The Havanese also gets along well with other pets and makes an amazing family pet!

The Havanese isn’t all work and no play though—if you want a dog who will keep your entertained during your free time as well as when you have company over, then this is your breed!

6. Bernese Mountain Dog

The Bernese Mountain Dog is a large, sturdy dog with a long coat. They are known as “gentle giants” and are very loyal and affectionate. They make great family pets and are good with children. Bernese Mountain Dogs love to be outdoors, so they can be kept in an apartment if you have the right kind of lifestyle for it!

Bernese Mountain Dogs have cautionary health problems like hip dysplasia, epilepsy and eye diseases (such as cataracts). You should ask your veterinarian about these issues before buying this breed of dog if you want to avoid them altogether in your pet’s life span from puppyhood until old age at 15+ years old!

7. Basset Hound

The Basset Hound is a gentle, affectionate and loyal dog. They have droopy ears, short legs and a long body. They are known for their friendly and gentle nature that makes them great family pets.

8. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is an adorable little dog that has a medium-sized head, round eyes and a soft tail. It’s a playful breed that loves to play with toys, especially stuffed ones. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is very energetic and needs daily exercise or it may become overweight. They are suitable for apartment living as long as they get enough exercise outside on a daily basis.

9. Vizsla

The Vizsla is one of the most loyal and playful dog breeds out there. They love their owners, but they also enjoy playing with other dogs and children. The Vizsla is also very intelligent, which means they can be trained quickly to perform tricks or work as a guide dog for the blind.

However, this breed does need lots of exercise so it’s important to keep them active so they don’t get bored! If you live in an apartment or condo where there isn’t enough space for your pet to play outside then consider getting a treadmill for it instead!

10. Beagle

The beagle is a small, stubby dog. They have an elongated nose and long hair. Beagles are very friendly and sociable, they love to play around with people and other animals. These dogs are very intelligent, they’re known for their sense of smell and because of this they make great hunters as well as being good family pets too!

They can be trained to do tricks like sit, lie down or shake their paws if you want them to do something silly or cute with their owner when someone comes over!

Dogs come in many different sizes and all dogs are adorable!

With the exception of the very smallest dogs, all dogs are adorable. The Shih Tzu, Newfoundland, Bullmastiff and Great Dane are just a few of the many large breeds that can be found on this list of top ten adorably big dog breeds.

Each breed has its own unique personality and characteristics which may not be apparent at first glance (or smell). For example: The Shih Tzu has been known to be especially affectionate with their owners while the Newfie is great with kids! The Basset Hound is known for being an excellent hunter while Vizslas are very intelligent and make excellent watchdogs due to their high level of energy.
