"A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." -Billings

Take a look into the UK’s favourite dogs.

Be responsible, get dog insurance from the RSPCA.

1) Labrador Retriever

The Labrador is one of the most bred animals in the world and is a faithful companion.

They are good natured and behave well around children, but they do require a lot of exercise to prevent them from becoming destructive and boisterous.

2) Cocker Spaniel

The cocker spaniel is a great addition to a family and takes orders well from its owner. They are a great dog to opt for if you already have a cat, as they socialise well with other pets. They are best when walked on a daily basis.

3) English Springer Spaniel

English springer spaniels are well known for being boisterous and

energetic, and make a good pet for

someone with an active lifestyle. They need regular walks

and have a mischievous side.

4) German ShepherdThe German

shepherd was originally bred for

herding sheep in the mountains, but is

well known for loyalty and often used as a

guard dog.

Cats have 30 teeth, and respond better to men as opposed to women.

5) Cavalier King Charles SpanielGood with children and other animals, the King Charles is a lively dog that can be a little yappy. Their long fur means they need regular brushing, but they make a fantastic first pet for a child.

6) Staffordshire Bull Terrier

The confident nature of a Staffy means that they are prone to injury as they have no fear,. They are not good around young children as they have a strong pack mentality, but are loving and loyal.

7) Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever is a great family dog but due to its longer coat requires a lot of brushing. This breed of dog is great around children and families.

8) Border Terrier

Border terriers are loud and cannot be trusted with small pets like hamsters as they have a strong hunting gene. Suitable for a confident household.

9) Boxer

Nicknamed the loveable clown, a boxer dog is easy to look after with their short hair, although can be prone to sunburn and breathing difficulties due to their short snouts.

10) West Highland White Terrier

Westies are well known for being linked with royals, and their temperament varies from dog to dog. They need a good deal of exercise and can be difficult to train
