Let’s jump straight into the list of the top 10 high-energy
dog breeds
Number 10
Golden retriever
Fun-loving canine companions who are the perfect choice for single
owners or families leading a very active lifestyle and right here at number 10
we have perhaps the most striking looking dog amongst all of the retriever
breeds the beautiful golden retriever now seeing this loving, gentle and
very mellow family companion here on our list at all may surprise you as this
breed is not usually regarded as overly active.
However the golden retriever is a large and athletic
dog who absolutely loves to move around to work and to play due to their
history as hunting companions in Scotland.
They are used to spending hours and hours in the field
together with their owners their hunters even today Golden retrievers
need quite a lot of exercise to keep them happy and well balanced if they do
not get this kind of exercise they can turn very vocal and very destructive in
the house.

Number 9
Labrador retriever
And at number nine we have the Labrador retriever very
similar to the golden retriever.
The Labrador is a working dog by design especially Labradors
who stem from dedicated working lines.
They absolutely require lots of training walks and play to
remain calm in the house for the rest of the day despite their reputation as
being docile peaceful and friendly to humans and animals labradors can become
very destructive and in some cases even quite aggressive when not educated and
exercised properly being a dedicated high-energy working breed the labrador is
happiest when given a task to work on such as obedience and tracking work or
retrieving toys on land or even better into the water alternatively you can invest
in smart toys for your dog such as puzzle toys treat dispensing balls or kong
toys filled with peanut butter or meat pate.
As long as the labradors are exercised well both physically
and mentally they are indeed one of the best and most versatile active canine
companions in the entire world.

Number 8
Our next candidate on the number eight spot is another dog who
tends to be even more energetic than the Labrador,The German shepherd
Apart from being a very capable natural guardian this large
dog comes with a high level of energy its eagerness to work and keen prey drive
rival and even surpass that of working labrador retrievers this especially
applies to working line.
German shepherds what German shepherds, golden retrievers
and Labrador retrievers have in common is their immense eagerness to please
their owners which makes working with them a pleasure all of these dogs are
wonderful active companions who will be more than happy to accompany you on long
outings that said the German shepherd trumps the retrievers in terms of
endurance these athletic dogs can trot for hours and hours on end which was
precisely what they had been designed to do by their creator max von stephnitz
in Germany.

Number 7
German short pointer
At number seven on our list of the top 10 most energetic dog
breeds we have the German short head pointer, as one of the most effective,
multi-purpose hunting breeds on the planet.
The german short head combines high levels of intelligence
and trainability this versatility and extremely agile working dog has been
created to assist hunters both on land and in water.
German short head pointers are medium to large dogs who are
absolutely beautiful to look at athletic and yet elegant these untiring hunting
companions are very high energy dogs who require vigorous exercise on a daily
basis because they are immensely fond of their favorite humans and strong emotional
bonds with them German short-haired pointers should not be kept outside but be
allowed to share the home with their owners.
Number 6
Our number six spot goes to yet another hunting dog who is
more or less on par with the german short-haired pointer when it comes to prey
drive and eagerness to work however in terms of energy levels this beautiful
medium-sized english breed may even surpass the pointer and we're speaking
about one of the best rabbit dogs in the world the beagle.
Born to work well in packs during the hunt beagles are
extremely social and friendly dogs they usually get along wonderfully with people
and other canines which makes them a great choice as a second dog.
For example if you have a rather low energy dog in your household
and you want to add a very unproblematic and energetic breed your beagle will
quite happily accompany you on almost any outdoor activity that you might want
to pursue as an added bonus beagles make excellent watch dogs whose keen senses
will unfailingly alert them should there be anything out of the ordinary going
on outside of your home.

Number 5
Yorkshire terrier
At number five we have the Yorkshire terrier and size and
outer appearance can be deceiving when it comes to being a high-energy dog breed
and that is exactly the case with the yorkshire terrier and whilst these dogs
can make excellent pets when socialized and trained accordingly they have been
bred as so-called ratters which means their role was to kill rats who were much
smaller than the dogs themselves a task which required enormous amounts of prey
drive and courage from these little hunters this is why many yorkshire terriers
of today come with high energy levels and a pronounced prey drive.
Despite their size yorkies can appear almost hyperactive at
all times which makes them seemingly companions.
So if you are looking for a calm low maintenance toy breed beware
of the yorkshire terrier.
Number 4
The Australian cattle dog
At our number four spot we have a breed that is so similar
to the pick that we're going to talk about next that it was difficult to give
one the highest spot on the list than the other this beautiful and immensely
energetic breed is a herding dog for cattle in Australia hence its name the Australian
cattle dog and it is an absolutely stunning dog that was bred for the purpose
of driving cattle across long distances and in rough hot terrain for this task
australian ranchers required a strong athletic dog with extremely high levels
of working drive and endurance.
The australian cattle dog loves to work so much so that they
can go from lying down sleeping in a corner to a hundred awake and ready to go
in the blink of an eye these high level athletes are one of the most keen
energetic and driven working breeds on the entire planet.

So then here we are at the top three positions on our list
of the top 10 high energy dog breeds in the entire world.
Number 3
The Border collie
And the bronze medal goes to a dog native to here in the
united kingdom and more precisely to the county of Northumberland situated on
the border between England and Scotland bread is a highly effective sheep
herding dog.
The border collie is extremely energetic and playful which
makes it an amazing fun companion for active dog lovers and dog trainers for
that matter combined with its extraordinarily high energy and trainability this
intelligence makes the border collie a sheer joy to work with and to train
these dogs easily can be educated to competition level obedience and
performance and they frequently excel in dog sports such as agility or sheepdog
trials.
Number 2
Jack Russel
So here we are in the prestigious silver medal spot and
let's see who has managed to conquer the second top spot amongst the top 10 high-energy
dog breeds in the canine world and the dog we have picked for this position may
surprise you as small size and adorable looks can be deceiving we are speaking
about the courageous, famous and fearless jack Russell terrier.
These little canines are amazingly bold high energy working
dogs and were originally bred in england for the purpose of bolting foxes and
badgers from their dens the extremely lively and independent little dogs have
not lost any of their tenacity over the centuries and can get quite aggressive
