The five most popular breeds in West Virginia are Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Beagles, and Yorkshire Terriers. Not sure which dog will best match your lifestyle in West Virginia? Here’s some information about these favorite dog breeds.
Beagles in West Virginia: Beagles are smart, fun loving, and hardy. They make great companions for adults and kids alike. However, being hounds, they do have a prey instinct and require careful and patient training as puppies to become well-behaved adults.
Yorkshire Terriers in West Virginia: Yorkies are feisty, loving, loyal companions that are ideal for West Virginia families that want a small dog who doesn’t need much space. However, while Yorkshire Terriers are a great match for adults and older kids, families with young children should consider this breed carefully.
Golden Retrievers in West Virginia: Goldens are some of the most popular family pets not only in West Virginia but all of America. They are friendly, calm, gentle, and loving, which makes them a great choice for families with young children.
German Shepherds in West Virginia: GSDs are excellent companions for West Virginians who love to spend time outdoors, running, hiking, camping, or hunting. They are extremely loyal, highly intelligent, and quite tireless, which makes German Shepherds a great fit for active families.
Labrador Retrievers in West Virginia: Labs are born swimmers and were originally bred to be fishermen’s helpers, so they are working dogs with tons of energy. However, Labradors in West Virginia are friendly, loving companions, and therefore, excellent family pets.
