Beagles are a type of hound known as a scent hound, which means they use their exceptional sense of smell to assist hunters by sniffing out and tracking prey. Beagles were traditionally used to hunt foxes, hares, and other small animals that swarmed in packs, using howls and barks to lure hunters to the animals.

Beagles love people, especially their families. They get along well with other dogs and other types of animals, including cats and other animals. Although loyal and eager to please, Beagle training can be challenging because they are easily distracted by interesting sights and smells.

Like dachshunds, they pick out things they like, and when they like it, they stick with it until the end. Although these dogs tend to be much smaller than most dogs, they are fiercely loyal and have big personalities, which may be what makes them so appealing.

Although they prefer one owner most of the time, you can open up to others as long as you train and interact with them. But their tendency to be mean to strangers stems from their natural tendency to protect their owners.

Because of their small yet elongated bodies, people often refer to them as wiener hounds, sausage dogs, or hot dogs. They have stubby legs and large digging claws, suitable for hunting badgers, rabbits and other rodents.

Dachshunds are known for protecting their owners, rescuing them from fires and even bear attacks. They love fun and play and maintain a curious hunting nature, even though they can be a bit stubborn.

Great Danes are very loyal and affectionate to their owners and families and can get along well with children. These giant dogs don't always know their own strength, so early and consistent training is necessary to teach Great Danes good manners so they don't knock anyone over.

Originally used as herding and working dogs, these loyal dogs would show up at work to show their loyalty.

Their loyalty is inherent in their personality. Rottweilers will stay with their owners and protect them as long as they are committed, loved and given attention. Despite being a fearsome breed, these dogs can be sensitive and prone to separation anxiety if left alone for long periods of time.

Originally bred in the Swiss Alps as rescue dogs, this majestic breed can keep owners trapped in avalanches warm and, thanks to their large size, pull them to safety. Their rescue instincts often lead them to protect and care for their families, and even act as "nannies" for their children. Their loyalty is due to their desire to please their owners.
