Bruno – The Beagles
Beagle is considered as a happy-go-lucky and easygoing breed. They are considered excellent hunters as well but are joyous as pets. Beagles are of a couple of varieties, i.e., under 13 inches at the shoulder and between 13-15 inches. This breed is quite popular in America.
The sense of smell of this breed is quite extraordinary and they are used by US Customs and Border Protection as well on international airports. They are said to be low-maintenance as well but need long walks on a regular basis.
Dude – The Golden Labradors
Golden Labradors are also known as Labrador Retrievers. This breed is one of the most common ones in India as well. They are considered to be good-natured, affectionate and very friendly which makes them a perfect choice for pet lovers. They are generally non-aggressive by nature.
Golden Labradors are also used as service dogs due to their high intelligence and obedience. They require a good amount of diet and behave well with other species of dogs as well.
