15 Best Dog Breeds

9. Poodle

Poodles are particularly popular too. They’re both highly intelligent and aggressive, making them easily trainable guard dogs for owners. Poodles are sociable with other pets and people and aren’t afraid to make friends with the entire neighborhood on their daily walks. With all their positives though, they also require more maintenance than some of the other breeds on this list. Their fur coats require constant grooming, estimated up to 10 hours a week for some pups.
