If you’ve been thinking about getting a new puppy over the last two years then you’re not alone, with the Kennel Club reporting the number of people welcoming new dogs into their homes has soared over the pandemic.
But choosing the right breed is absolutely essential – for example opting for a small dog if you don’t have much room at home, or a hypoallergenic dog if you suffer from allergies.
Another thing to take into account is that certain breeds are significantly more excitable than others.
For most of their history, the Beagle has mainly been kept as a hunting dog. Their excitable and alert nature, habit of barking at any stimulus and love of running in packs can cause issues in a sedate family home. (Photo: Canva/Getty Images)
So, if you want a dog that will spend most of their time relaxing by the fire and will be unflappable in the face of children, noises, smells, new places and strangers – these are probably not the dogs for you.
On the other hand, there’s never a dull moment with these canines, who will keep you on your toes and will always let you know exactly how they are feeling.
These are the ten breeds of dog that are predisposed to being most excitable.
There are no shortage of terriers on this list - and for good reason. Dog breeds like the Cairn Terrier are fiercely intelligent and easily bored. While thas will seldom lead to aggression, they are always on the lookout for something to do and are real bundles of energy. (Photo: Canva/Getty Images)
The last of the terriers on our list, the tiny Jack Russell is a contender for the most energy per pound of pup. If they don't get anough exercise then that energy has to go somewhere - mainly barkng and jumping around for the slightest tiny reason. (Photo: Canva/Getty Images)
West Highland Terriers are at their most excitable when they are young and, while some grow out of it, many don't. All Westies need plenty of walks and games to keep them healthy and happy. (Photo: Canva/Getty Images)
The Siberian Husky is a dog that can be relatively calm if they get plenty of exercise. If they don't get enough physical stimulation though they are prone to destructive behaviour, or even running away. (Photo: Canva/Getty Images)
Always alert and always on the lookout for the next adventure - the Border Collie is not a dog that will ever be happy relaxing at home. Constant mental and physical stimulation is required to keep this breed happy. (Photo: Canva/Getty Images)
The Miniature Schnauzer needs lots of play to keep them happy and will join in with everybody's games at the park - whether they are welcome or not. They are also very territorial, potentially creating a ruckus if a stranger so much as looks at their house. Plenty of exercise is the best way to keep them calm. (Photo: Canva/Getty Images)
The Yorkshire Terrier is a very popular dog breed that loves to run around, jump up and vocally express their feelings (often repeatedly). They are loving and entertaining pets but do like to make their own fun if nobody else is providing it.
As their name suggests, the Fox Terrier was bred to flush out foxes during hunts. They may now most commonly be kept as pets but they retain the excitable and active nature that made them so good in their former job. (Photo: Canva/Getty Images)
The Hungarian Vizsla is another hunting dog that can find life in a modern home a bit boring, which can lead to them becoming problematically excitable. They relish a challenge so plenty of outdoor time and energetic games are essential. (Photo: Canva/Getty Images)
