Job and dog not working? Go then! Even working people don’t have to do without a dog. There are numerous dog breeds that can be left alone for a few hours.
These dogs are either real sleepyheads, have a very independent character or can come to terms with the situation.
Which four-legged friend should greet you after a stressful day at work?
Personally, I would like it if No. 5 came storming towards me, tail wagging.
1. French Bulldog
The French bulldog, which can also be referred to as «Frenchie», is a comfortable companion for beginners and professionals.
Although the four-legged friends like to spend time with their masters/mistresses, they can also be left alone for a longer period of time. Most of the time it will oversleep them.
After your return home, you should play happily with your French bulldog. Then she is happy.
2. Pug
The situation with the pug is similar to that of the French bulldog. This breed of dog also has a very relaxed disposition and can be left alone for several hours.
Due to his calm nature, the cute fellows are made for people without dog experience, professionals or families. They will also sleep while you are away and won’t do any nonsense.
After his beauty sleep, the pug wants to be entertained. Give him your attention and play with him.
Important!
The pug is an overbred breed, which unfortunately also has tormented breeds. In addition, this breed of dog is prone to breathing difficulties.
3.Chihuahua
The Chihuahua is one of the few small dog breeds that can sometimes be left alone at home.
The cute little fellows can even be kept in smaller city apartments, do not need quite as much exercise and will even go to the litter box in an emergency.
All in all, the Chihuahua is the perfect companion for working singles. If only it weren’t for the loud barking.
Good to know
You should invest a little more time in dental hygiene with Chihuahuas, since dental problems are very common in the breed.
4. Maltese
If you cannot or are not allowed to take your Maltese to work, you can easily leave it at home.
The small fluffy balls are cute to look at, learn quickly and are perfect for keeping in the apartment.
However, you should not leave your Maltese alone for too long. Otherwise he gets bored and only gets up to mischief.
In addition to grooming, exercising and playing together is also important.
5.Golden Retrievers
A larger breed of dog that doesn’t have a problem with being alone is the Golden Retriever.
The «Goldie», as these animals are affectionately called, is truly a pot of gold. These dogs adapt beautifully to situations and get along well with children or other pets.
If you want to leave your Golden Retriever alone, it is advisable to get a second dog. Then he has a playmate.
Good to know
A Labrador Retriever makes a very good second dog. Both dog breeds have a similar personality.
6. Basset Hound
The Basset Hound, or just «Basset» is a hunting and tracking dog from England.
While the sniffers like to sniff out everything and everyone in the great outdoors, they are veritable role models in the home.
In the apartment, on the other hand, the heartbreakers hardly want to leave the couch and sleep well there, sometimes even for a few hours.
Good to know
Basset Hounds are prone to bloating.
7. Boston Terriers
The Boston Terrier is a breed of dog in the USA.
The dogs learn commands very quickly, are funny and like to be the center of attention. However, the animals are also very independent and can therefore sometimes be left alone.
After your return, however, you should spoil your darling with a long walk.
8. Miniature Schnauzer
The Miniature Schnauzer originally comes from Germany. In its past, the breed was primarily used for rat hunting.
Nowadays, the dogs appear primarily as apartment and family dogs. It is also suitable for beginners and people with children.
The Miniature Schnauzer is considered to be very independent. You can also leave him alone for several hours.
9. Whippet
The Whippet is a sighthound from England.
While they still indulge in their nature outside and demonstrate their activity and hunting instinct, indoors they are more like sofa dogs.
Whippets are not very clingy and love to sleep a lot. You can therefore remain alone without any problems.
10. Dachshund
The dachshund is one of the most popular dog breeds of all. Originally from Germany, it was primarily kept as a hunting dog.
Today, the four-legged friends appear more as family dogs. They are peaceful, playful and fond of children.
The dachshund has a mind of its own and doesn’t need to be entertained around the clock. He can get by on his own for a few hours just fine.
11. Labrador
The Labrador is currently one of the most popular dog breeds. The four-legged friends are clever, kind-hearted and are ideal for beginners or families with children.
Allergy sufferers also benefit from these animals. The four-legged friends are hypoallergenic.
If you live in a house with a garden, you can also leave your labrador alone. He should not be left alone in the apartment. This only leads to boredom and mischief.
12. Labradoodle
The Labradoodle is a Labrador Poodle mix. The fluffy companions are in great demand among professionals. They can be taken to the office or left alone for a few hours.
If you want to leave your Labradoodle alone, your property should have a garden. Then he is happy and can pass the time wonderfully.
The breed is considered very clever and well-mannered. But nonsense out of boredom can still happen.
Important!
With a Labradoodle, you should put a little more time and effort into grooming.
