The Best Dogs for Single Women

A single woman has certain needs she must consider when choosing a dog. Because you will be taking care of the dog yourself, you will want a more self-reliant breed. You may also want a breed that offers protection and dependability as well as companionship and fun.

  1. German Shepherd

    • These dogs are loyal protectors that are easily trained. German shepherds are very smart dogs that take pleasure in making sure their owners are happy and safe.

    Pit Bull Terrier

    • Despite a difficult reputation, pit bull terriers are known as affectionate companion dogs. Strong and smart, they are easy to train and good protectors.

    Golden Retriever

    • One of the most popular dog breeds in the United States, golden retrievers are also great for single women because of their easy and friendly temperaments and their eager-to-please attitudes.

    Bolognese

    • These small, fluffy dogs do not need a lot of space or exericse. They are friendly, sweet, easy to train and though they may be reserved around strangers, they tend to warm up quickly.

    Greyhound

    • Despite being fast dogs used for racing, greyhounds do not usually display that much energy. They enjoy short bursts of exercise, but are also quiet animals that enjoy keeping to themselves in small spaces. Also, their short coats require very little grooming.
