Dog breeds friendly with other dogs

If you already have a dog or often go to dog parks, it matters how well a breed gets along with other dogs. This list includes the Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, Beagle, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Havanese and Basset Hound, among others.

How the breeds were chosen

We included breeds with the top score (5 out of 5) for “Good With Other Dogs” in the American Kennel Club (AKC) breed ratings. Breeds without an AKC profile are not included. Many are hounds bred to work in a pack. The rating describes the breed in general. Every dog has its own character, and training and socialisation matter just as much.
