Question
I am interested in and have been researching therapy dogs. I was wondering which breed of dogs make the best therapy dog and why?
Answer
It really depends on what kind of therapy. Best advice is to go to your area's website and explore what dogs they have, pictures, and if there are any adoptable career-change dogs. You can also talk to other people in that field about what breeds are best.
Generally speaking in so broad a sense it can barely be called an answer, these breeds typically dominate most fields for their intelligence, train-ability, and relaxed demeanor:
- Golden retriever
- Labrador
- German Shepard
Once you start talking about a more specific field, you'll start to see more breeds, but generally I feel these three are in just about every field.
