The best (and worst) behaved dogs

Is your dog a “good boy”?

Forbes surveyed 5,000 dog owners, 200 each of the 25 most popular dog breeds and ranked the best (and worst) behaved breeds according to general behavior, listening to commands, jumping on people, barking, begging for food and trying to escape.

So who’s the “best boy” of them all?

The Labrador Retriever topped the list followed by Rottweilers, Shih Tzus, Cane Corsos, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Boston Terriers, Poodles, Yorkshire Terriers and Bulldogs.

The LEAST-behaved breed was the Siberian Husky followed by Beagles, Havanese, French Bulldogs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Miniature Schnauzers, Dachshunds and Australian Shepherds.

All the rest are somewhere in the middle…where does your dog rank?
