Best Dog Breeds

Greyhound

While our top pick might seem surprising, given the impressive size of this type of dog, Greyhounds make excellent choices for people. The reason: retired Greyhounds, who spent their entire lives racing, want nothing more than to excel in the art of couch-potato-ing. That’s right, these slender, graceful and athletic creatures are the ultimate lazy dogs, which is why many golden agers opt for the companionship. Greyhounds are also wise and very well behaved, quiet and gentle, qualities which make them among the most sought-after breeds by people.
