Breed Guides

Helping You Find the Perfect Pup for Your Life & Lifestyle!

ðŸū Welcome to the Wagwise Breed Guides!



Choosing the right dog breed isn’t just about picking the cutest face (though, let’s be honest, they’re all cute).



It’s about finding a furry friend whose personality, exercise needs, and quirks fit your life.

"

Listen up, humans – just because we look adorable on Instagram doesn’t mean we’re all sunshine and rainbows.

Some of us shed enough hair to knit a jumper, and some of us need more walks than you have time for.


Choose wisely, or we’ll both be grumpy!"

✅
Understand temperaments and traits of popular dog breeds
✅ Learn about
exercise and grooming needs

🐕 Dog Breed Categories

🏠 Small Dog Breeds

Perfect for apartments, small homes, or owners who want a lap-sized companion.



Max’s Tip: “Don’t let size fool you – some of these tiny ones have more attitude than a Great Dane with a bad haircut.”


ðŸķ Medium Dog Breeds

Great for families, first-time dog owners, and those with a bit more space.



Max’s Tip: “Border Collies are smart enough to outwit you – and they will. Don’t get lazy, humans.”

🐕‍ðŸĶš Large Dog Breeds

Big hearts, big paws, big everything!



Max’s Tip: “We’re not just oversized lapdogs – we need space, training, and people who don’t mind the occasional slobbery cuddle.”




🏃‍♂ïļ Active & Working Breeds

Ideal for owners who love outdoor adventures, sports, or have lots of time for training.


  • Popular Breeds: Kelpie, Husky, Belgian Malinois, Australian Shepherd
  • Traits: Energetic, intelligent, love having a ‘job’ to do


Max’s Tip: “These guys need a purpose. If you don’t give them one, they’ll invent their own – like digging holes big enough to bury your car.”


🛋ïļ Low-Maintenance Breeds

Perfect for relaxed lifestyles or people who don’t have time for hours of grooming or exercise.


  • Popular Breeds: Greyhound, Whippet, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Shih Tzu
  • Traits: Easy-going, affectionate, love a good nap


Max’s Tip: “Greyhounds are the Ferraris of the dog world – super fast for 10 seconds, then asleep on the couch for 10 hours.”

ðŸ“Ē Max’s Final Word


"Choosing a breed isn’t like picking a new pair of shoes. We’re living, breathing, occasionally-drooling family members.


Do your research, or you’ll end up with a couch full of fur and a very annoyed dog (probably me)."
