1. German Shepherd
A firm favorite, the German Shepherd is a born athlete. If you love physical activities, they'll be an ideal companion. Its somewhat imposing size also requires it to be outdoors more often than indoors. Very loyal and devoted, you will love him!
2. Beagle
Beware, the Beagle moves air! Formerly used as a hunting dog, he not only has a nose for the ground, but also a lot of energy when it comes to walking the streets in your neighborhood. He will make a great companion for children who will spend quality time with him.
3. Jack Russell Terrier
He'll never get tired of running and jumping. The Jack Russell is particularly active, especially when it comes to playing (with you, of course). On the other hand, he requires a lot of attention, as he needs a firm education.
4. Australian Shepherd
If you want to keep him happy, get moving! The Australian Shepherd is a great sportsman who hates to be alone. They are very attached to their family and will be grateful if you give them precious minutes to play with the ball in the backyard.
5. Siberian Husky
Many times in history, the Siberian Husky has proven that he has the drive and strength for any sport. He is known, among other things, for pulling sleds, loaded with happy children.
6. Dalmatian
The Dalmatian will be faithful to you until his last breath. What he asks in return is simple: time with you and your children. Otherwise, his energy could turn against him (and you), as he may engage in destructive behavior.
7. Border Collie
The Border Collie is one of the most athletic dogs in the world. With his background as a sheepdog, it's not surprising to see him running around to work off his excess energy.
8. German Shorthaired Pointer
His favorite activity? Running. Whether it's in your backyard or at the dog park, the German Shepherd needs exercise to be the smart and energetic dog you'll love.
9. Labrador
The Labrador probably has all the qualities you want in a dog. Not surprisingly, they need to move and play. The great thing about this dog is that you'll have peace of mind when the kids want to play - he's uniquely gentle.
10. Greyhound
His long legs make him an ideal running partner. He's arguably the fastest dog in the world... so chances are he'll reach the finish line before you do.
