- Remember that...
Many people when adopting a dog prefer to be informed to find in their new pet qualities related to their personality. There are several factors that we take into account to choose the perfect dog for us, although it must be remembered that each animal has its own personality and that sometimes it can be surprising.
In this PeritoAnimal article we will show you a list with the calmer dog breeds so you can orient yourself.
In this list you will find large and small size puppies, a general set of calm puppies. Remember that you must also participate in this reassurance, in addition to rewarding this type of behavior, if you wish.
1. Greyhound
Although many people think that the Greyhound is a dog that needs a lot of exercise and physical activity, the truth is that most greyhounds are very calm animals who like to relax and enjoy with the owners of a quiet place.
The Galgo is a silent, scared and calm dog with which we can enjoy walks along the seafront and be surprised to see how he runs like an arrow.
Thought about adopting a Greyhound? Remember that after the hunting period many of the greyhounds used are abandoned, so adopting one as a pet is a great and supportive option, in addition to not contributing to the market for buying and selling animals.
2. Pug
Most of the time we associate small puppies to a nervous and even excited behavior, but this is not the case of the Pug. The Pug is a small, sweet-looking dog that demonstrates a peaceful and calm character.
The Pug enjoys the company of adults and children, and although he plays and has fun, we can quickly see that he is a calm dog. Perhaps because of his strong build (which makes him a little difficult to breathe when exercising) he tries to be calm and peaceful both outside and indoors.
If you are thinking about adopting a Pug, you must be sure that you do not want this dog to exercise as it cannot support prolonged physical activity.
3. Great Dane
If you've ever come across a Great Dane, you'll agree that it's a calm dog despite its large size. The Great Dane walks slowly and doesn't need a lot of exercise time, a normal walking routine will suffice for our pet to be happy.
Despite being a calm dog, you must remember that its large size needs a big bed, a big house as well as a large dose of food.
4. English bulldog
The Bulldog is, without a doubt, another dog that deserves to be on this list of the calmest dog breeds. It is a robust and stout dog, but very affectionate and attached to its owners.
His own physiognomy does not allow him to exercise excessively, so we found in him a dog we can walk slowly with and relaxed enjoy the routine.
5. Saint Bernard
St. Bernard is a lovely dog with a very calm character. Despite being one of the biggest dogs in the world, it is so sweet that it makes it perfect for socializing with children. Due to its ease in protecting the little ones at home it is considered by many to be a babysitter dog.
Also, one of the advantages of this breed is that it is very easy to train, so teaching him basic orders will be really easy. If you have enough space for him, without a doubt the São Bernardo is one of the best options for being a calm, intelligent, loyal and obedient dog.
6. Spanish Mastiff
This big, strong dog is one of the best livestock guard dogs. The Spanish Mastiff has a sweet and affectionate character, shows great loyalty to his owners and is an especially calm dog when surrounded by children.
Its relaxed, calm and serene attitude makes it the ideal companion for all those less active people who prefer to have a larger size dog. It's a dog that barks very little, is balanced, noble and affectionate, who will offer you their best without asking for anything in return. Give him the basic care he needs and you'll have a responsible and very faithful friend by your side.
Although the Spanish Mastiff is a calm dog indoors and very sociable with the members that live in it, outside the home it can become a somewhat territorial and suspicious dog with strangers. You should have some training notions before choosing a puppy of such a large size.
7. Basset Hound
The Basset Hound is the perfect housemate, quiet, affectionate, loving and familiar. This is a breed of dog that adapts without problems to living in small apartments, as its favorite hobbies are eating and sleeping. Because they have short legs, they are not fast dogs and prefer quiet, unhurried walks at their own pace. In addition, they are also not characterized by being very playful puppies, so if you are looking for a pet for children who are calm but willing to play, the Basset Hound is not the best option.
shall have patience when training him and pay special attention to taking care of your long ears and eyes. They are puppies that love to be at home with their owners, so if you provide all the care you need, the Basset Hound will thank you with affection and pampering. Also, he is an excellent hunter!
8. Shar Pei
Without a doubt that the Shar pei is one of the calmest and most relaxed dogs, which stands out for being lovely, calm and a little independent. You don't need to do a lot of physical exercise and don't usually get excited when faced with some everyday stimuli that could make other puppies startle, and it's also not usually destructive.
9. Akita Inu
Akita Inu is a dog of Japanese origin. Beautiful and very faithful, we found in it a very calm and patient dog who tends to reserve himself before strangers and strangers. It's great as a pet as it will undoubtedly become our best friend forever. You must know that you need some training notions that provide a good education, essential in this breed.
10. Bloodhound
As with the Spanish Mastiff, we find in Bloodhoound a large dog very calm and peaceful. She accepts training well and does not usually behave in an excited or destructive way. He is tolerant and patient with children, other dogs and even strangers with whom he will be relaxed and cautious.
Remember that...
Each puppy is different, has its own character and its way of doing things, so we cannot assure you that all the nominees on this list are 100% calm puppies. Education with positive reinforcement and trying reward calm inside and outside the home will be the best tools to get a relaxed, calm and peaceful dog.
