The 15 Most Playful Dog Breeds

One of the things we love about dogs is their playfulness. But some breeds are generally more playful than others. So, in the spirit of a good time, we combed through our
breed profiles to find the dog breeds that tend to be the most fun loving.
It’s
important to keep in mind that most of these breeds are not couch potatoes or
shrinking violets and, in fact, usually need lots of mental and physical stimulation so they
don’t become bored. And you should remember that all dogs are individuals — not all Labs are obsessed with playing fetch, and there are probably even some Portuguese Water Dogs who don’t like water. And, of course, with any of these breeds, a dog’s health and age will influence his level of liveliness. So even with these breeds, you should have a veterinarian examine your dog to make sure there are no underlying conditions before initiating any exuberant activities.
And now, here are our top 15 playful dog breeds. Did we miss any?
