The roster
Each one scored paw by paw. Filter by the job they were bred to do, or jump straight to a favourite.
The all-rounder. Endlessly patient, food-motivated, and happiest with a job — from retrieving to babysitting the kids.
Sunshine with a tail. Gentle, eager to please, and famously good with children and strangers alike.
Brilliant, loyal, and devoted to one family. Needs a mission and mental work, or it will invent its own.
A clownish companion built for the couch. Low exercise needs, big personality, and those unmistakable bat ears.
A nose on legs. Merry, curious, and pack-loving — give it a scent trail and it is the happiest dog in the room.
Genuinely one of the smartest breeds and secretly athletic. The curly coat sheds little but demands regular grooming.
A tireless sled dog with wanderlust in its bones. Vocal, escape-prone, and stunning — best for experienced, active owners.
Short legs, big opinions. A bold little herder that is smart, chatty, and far more athletic than it looks.
Bred to hunt badgers, still convinced it is enormous. Brave, stubborn, and devoted — mind that long back on the stairs.
A perpetual puppy in a muscular body. Playful, protective, and bonded hard to its people well into old age.
The workaholic genius of the dog world. Unmatched at agility and herding — but it needs a job, not just a backyard.
Born to run beside carriages, now beside runners. Spotted, spirited, and full of stamina that needs a daily outlet.
