A 'pawesome' year-ender: The most talked-about dog breeds in 2023
Let's raise a "woof" to 2023! Dogs are devoted our friends and adorable companions. They never cease to melt our hearts with their selfless nature and unconditional love. This year, a lot of different dog breeds made headlines - some for their affectionate personalities, some for their attractive appearances, and others for their exceptional social skills. Here are five of them.
Indian Pariah Dog
The population of native Indian dogs, also known as Indian Pariah Dogs, has dramatically increased due to growing animal awareness and affection. Being among the oldest indigenous dog breeds in India, they are ideal for the climate of the nation. They are highly gregarious, friendly, and generally very healthy, adding happiness and fulfillment to your life and pocket as a pet owner.
Labrador Retriever
One of the most talked-about dog breeds in 2023, the Labrador Retriever, is an energetic ball of fluff and among the friendliest breeds ever. Every moment spent with them is joyful as they have an endless love for cuddling and interacting with others. As their fur is shorter than that of Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers require less frequent and intense brushing.
French Bulldogs
Since their popularity has surged in recent years, this breed - which is regarded as one of the greatest companion dogs in the world - is among 2023's most popular canines. These affectionate dogs create strong bonds with their owners, showering them with love. Unfortunately, this rise in popularity has led to increased unethical breeding practices, exacerbating well-documented breathing issues among French Bulldogs.
Golden Retriever
Known as the popular dog breed, these furballs have a gentle disposition and make excellent family companions. Goldens make excellent therapy dogs because they are among the friendliest and most gregarious breeds. They get along well with other dogs too. Mostly, they just want to have fun and meet new people as they are rarely aggressive or unfriendly.
German Shepherd
German Shepherds were first developed as herding dogs, but over time they became cherished family pets. They are strong, wise, and vivacious. These dogs have a deep affection for their families and enjoy playing. Living with them is always an exciting experience because of their unique personality, which combines the traits of a well-behaved friend with a boisterous toddler.
