Small · Hound

Loyal and protective little dogs that often bond closely with one person and can be vocal when anxious or left alone.

Large · Hound

Gentle, quiet dogs, often retired racers. Many have never lived in a home before, so household noises and being left alone take time to learn; most adjust well.

Sociable scent hounds bred to work in packs, so many enjoy company; like any dog, they need to be taught to be left alone.

Small · Hybrid

A popular cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle, known for their affectionate nature and tendency to form intense bonds with their owners.

Small · Toy

Bred purely for companionship, Pugs are happiest when right next to their humans and can become very distressed when left alone.
