According to the American Kennel Club, Poodles are active, proud, and very smart, and we couldn’t agree more. This breed can live as many as 18 years. They are affectionate with families and good with small children as well as other dogs.
This particular breed has a great deal of energy, which is something to bear in mind when you’re looking for a dog breed that will match your lifestyle. If you want a dog you can take on jogs, long walks, and even hiking trips, then a Poodle is a great option.

Cocker Spaniels are gentle and easy going. When it’s time to go for a walk, they’ll trot happily and keep up a brisk pace. Yet, they’re just as happy to lounge around the home with you and snuggle.
Given their easy-going attitude, Cocker Spaniels make excellent dogs for first-time dog owners, especially if they’re joining a family with children. These dogs tend to be very attentive to everyone in the household, and thanks to their high energy, they’ll love to play with your children!
Other characteristics that make this lovable dog breed great for first-time owners is that they’re sweet-natured, easy to train, and retain a puppylike spirit until they grow old. Cocker Spaniels are also soft to the touch and beautiful to look at. Who wouldn’t want this adorable dog breed as their first puppy?
Petland Texas’ pet stores in Tyler Texas and Houston Texas have many breeds of Cocker Spaniel puppies for sale.
Today, Boxers are considered a purebred dog breed. But they originated in the early 1800s as a mixed breed. The now-extinct breed Brabant Bullenbeisser breed from the Mastiff family mixed with the English Bulldog was how the Boxer came to be.
Boxers make great dogs for first-time puppy owners, first and foremost, thanks to their trainability. On the trainability scale, Boxers are considered “eager to please,” which means you won’t have to repeatedly assert yourself to get your Boxer to obey you during training. To the contrary, your Boxer will easily learn basic commands and happily follow the house rules that you teach him. This breed is moderately adaptable and good with children and strangers.
There really are no downsides of owning a Boxer. They’re a perfect breed for new puppy parents. You can count on your Boxer to be fun-loving, active, and keen to your commands! And if you want a dog that can keep up with your outdoor activities, a Boxer is a great choice.
We carry Boxer puppies for sale in Texas, where you can meet and play with this cute breed.
This list of the best breeds for new dog owners wouldn’t be complete without the trustworthy, gentle, and patient Golden Retriever! There’s no better word to describe this family-friendly breed than “devoted.” Golden Retrievers are highly affectionate, docile, and yet energetic; and they’re also great with children and other dogs.
Golden Retrievers are medium-sized dogs and they’re surprisingly strong. This dog breed has been used in search-and-rescue missions, and used as guide dogs for the blind and service dogs to the disabled. This speaks to the caring, intuitive, and helpful nature that all Golden Retrievers share.
Above and beyond all those reasons, a Golden Retriever will make a great first dog for you because his highest priority will be to become your best friend and trustworthy companion. Golden Retrievers are also very sensitive and will pick up on your moods. Your Goldie will comfort you with affection when you are down and jump for joy with you when you’re celebrating!
