I’m a dog expert and there are three gentle breeds I recommend – one is so easy to keep and super loveable
A DOG expert has revealed the three breeds to get if you want a gentle dog who is super loveable.
Will Atherton, from Derbyshire, regularly shares his insight on dog breeds on his TikTok account (@iamwillatherton).
In a recent video, the canine behaviourist revealed his favourite pooches that he says make the best pet if you want a gentle dog to relax with the family.
It’s important to note that all dogs should be properly trained.
The dog expert said: “Something that many people are looking for is a dog that is super gentle low risk, and very chill.”
For people looking for a small dog breed, Will recommended the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
“You simply can’t go wrong,” he explained.
“They almost never have severe behaviour problems, they’re super lovable, they’re nice and easy to train and just a great dog breed.”
For those looking for a medium-sized dog breed to join the family, look no further than a Greyhound, especially a rescue one said the expert.
He added: “You get to do an amazing thing by rescuing that dog.
“Yet, contrary to popular belief they’re super laid back, super chill, super relaxed and super gentle.”
Finally, the dog expert recommended a large gentle-giant dog breed.
Will said: “The calmest, most relaxed, most gentle giant dog breed that I’ve ever come across has to be the Newfoundland.”
The video has since gone viral with 620k views and 47k likes.
People quickly took to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “My retired greyhound is so chill he’s practically comatose. He’s nearly 13 and we got him from the tracks when he was 3, but even then he was chill.”
Another person commented: “Had a Newfoundland she was the most gentle thing in the world!”
“Greyhounds – the fastest couch potato ever,” added a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth penned: “My cavalier is the easiest dog I’ve ever had. Even as a new puppy he was sooo easy.”
“My Greyhound can’t get out of the couch it’s his home now,” claimed a fifth.
