Retrievers
Retrievers are exactly what they sound like — dog breeds especially developed to assist humans during hunts by retrieving small game that has been shot down. The American Kennel Club recognizes 6 breeds as retrievers in the Sporting Group.
These breeds have consistently made the list of best family pets for years for all the right reasons. The golden retriever is arguably the most recognized retriever breed, but the others are just as adorable, with their own unique charm. Retrievers are known for being eager to learn and please, as well as full of energy and extremely friendly with the whole family.
