English Bulldogs are a common choice for first-time owners. They are one of the best dog breeds for first-time owners UK simply because they look spectacular, they have a strong bark and they have a great reputation.

4. Labrador Retriever

Labrador Retrievers are commonly known as labs and they are excellent dog to keep. This dog breed is smart, loves to play, and can enjoy any household. However, they prefer active households where they can run around all day and play.

Grooming is simple as well. You need to brush it occasionally and that’s it. There is no need for complicated grooming processes or anything similar. They do need plenty of physical activity. If you are considering adopting a lab, make sure you can provide this to him or her.

Basset Hound was known as a hunting breed and they were extremely popular in Europe for a long period of time.

Today, they are better known as the ideal dog breed for first-time owners. Basset Hound likes to stay relaxed as long as possible and they are loving dogs. You will have fun with one and you two will become best friends.

They are also well-mannered dogs which makes them ideal for people who need this kind of dog. Size is small so they can adapt well to small apartments and houses. They still need physical activity almost on a daily basis.

Sadly, they also drool so this is something you will have to get used to it.

6. Bichon Frise

Bichon Frise is another dog breed that is ideal for small apartments and small houses. They need a moderate level of activity per day and they need regular grooming. As you may know, this dog looks like a big cotton ball.

They have curly hair and it must be trimmed on a regular basis.

7. Shih Tzu

Shih Tzu was a royal dog in ancient China. They are not used for hunting and they don’t have any herding skills. But, they are loving dogs that look like no other dog breed and they love their owners.

They don’t need much and they can adapt to any family. Playing is something all dogs of this breed love and something you should provide as much as you can.

When we are discussing Shih Tzu, you do need to know one thing. They need to know you are the alpha and you are in control. If you are too ‘’gentle’’ with your dog, he will become hard to control, which isn’t something you can easily change and it will require plenty of time to correct.

Other than that, there are no other complications and Shih Tzu is an excellent choice for any first-time dog owner.

8. Pug

This particular dog breed is very common in the United Kingdom and almost always considered by first time owners. Obviously, it must be on the list. They are small to medium dogs that have plenty of energy for a short period of time.

In other words, they will be extremely active and then they will need rest. This makes them easy to keep dogs and ideal for people who don’t have much time to spend with their new friend. Pubs won’t have a hard time adapting to any apartment or a house, but having a backyard will make them much happier.

Their fur is short so you can groom it all by yourself. It needs occasional grooming and nothing more. Also, this dog breed is quiet so they are ideal for households that share the same virtue.

Training is moderate to difficult. Pubs are not known for their intelligence so you will need professional help to train your dog properly. Don’t forget that they are heavier than they look!

9. French Bulldog

French Bulldogs should be considered by first-time owners. They are a loving dog breed that is also easy to train, but not that easy as some other breeds. Most people find them extremely appealing and good with other pets.

You can keep all kinds of other pets (canine or not) and your French bulldog won’t have a hard time with any of those animals. They need a moderate amount of exercise and very little grooming. This breed is amazing with children and they will probably become very good friends.

Some things you should know before you opt for this dog breed. Many of them come with health issues and almost all of them can suffer from separation anxiety. In other words, you will need more time to spend with your dog than you may think. Training them is very important and highly recommended.

10. Boxer

Boxers are considered as some of the best dog breeds for beginners and extremely desirable in the UK. This dog breed is medium to large in size and requires very little grooming. They are ideal for families and they love children. Walking them is important but children can do that by themselves.

Training is a must in this case scenario. We are referring to obedience training when your dog is young and small. This will teach him, well obedience and how to behave properly. Training isn’t the simplest but far from the hardest.

They do need plenty of physical activity. Ideally, you will keep them in your backyard, but they can be kept in an apartment, with daily walks around the park.

The final word

Now you know which the best dog breeds for first-time owners UK are. At the end of the day, it is all about the balance and lifestyle you have. You need to choose a dog breed that will match your lifestyle and your capabilities.

By making the correct choice, you will have a happy dog that will be your best friend. But, making a mistake will give you a completely opposite outcome! Don’t forget that having a dog is the best thing you can do and don’t forget to treat your new dog as a family member, which he is.
