7 Dog Breeds That Need The Most Attention

by pawbuzz on in Dogs, Popular 102

While every dog breeds needs human interaction, there are some that are a little bit more independent than others.

Every dog is an individual, but certain dogs were bred to work alongside humans all day long, such as herding and hunting dogs, and others were used for solitary work, such as guard dogs.

Many breeds do fine with regular amounts of human love and attention, but some are a little bit more high-maintenance in this area.

#1 – Australian Shepherd

The Australian Shepherd is, despite its name, an American dog breed originally used for ranch dogs.

The breed is still actively used as stock dogs today, either on working farms or competing in herding sports, and does best with an active and attentive owner.

They are intelligent, driven dogs that excel at many dog sports such as agility and obedience. This breed does not do well when left alone for extended periods of time and is prone to separation anxiety.

    Again,strange choices. How about the Afghan hound that must have it’s ears tied up or in a snood, and be combed out completely, every day? Owners of one took it camping; it took the groomers all day to comb out the knots. How about the poodle,which must have regular hair cuts and have any long hair areas combed out every day, the ears cleaned at least once a week, and the snow melted out of long hair on the legs. You seem hung up on dogs that want attention. Labs do fine as family dogs with just routine attention; that’s how most of them live. Who writes this stuff?

    Dallas is so attached to me that she is either on my lap or at my feet…the only time she is not is when i leave her with my daughter so she won’t be alone when I have no choice but to go where she cannot be with me.
