One of the most popular dogs, the German Shepherd. This dog is mostly black but can have gray, brown and a lighter brown almost like the color of carmel candy on his ears, face, neck, belly and tail. The German Shepherd is a working dog and very loyal. They are easily trained in obedience and protection which is why they are the best dog to work with a police department or for a rescue team to help find lost people.

Other dogs, like the Golden Retriever are active and fun loving and also extremely patient. This makes them a great seeing-eye dog for blind people. These dogs guide blind people and act like their eyes, helping them cross the road, walk through the grocery store and more. Another very popular dog, the Labrador Retriever is known for it's great intelligence and friendliness. This dog is a great swimmer and loves to play in water. They also love to chase big, bright balls. Now, that's a sight for a coloring book.

Smaller dogs like Jack Russell Terriers or poodles are good lap dogs because they like to sit in your lap.
