Top five sociable dog breeds perfect for those buying a second pooch
When choosing a dog, it's vital to pick a breed that suits your needs as the owner. Whether you're a first-time pet parent, you're looking for a dog that doesn't need too much exercise, or even if you're on a budget and need an affordable dog, different breeds have different characteristics and needs.
But those who are looking for a second pooch to add to their family may want to opt for a dog that can get on well with other pups. Luckily, Dog experts at Adaptil have shared a list of the most sociable dogs that are known to easily make furry friends with other canines.
They said on their website: "Like humans, dogs have their own individual character and their temperament traits are frequently related to their genes; researching the breed, talking to doggie experts (like vets or dog behaviourists) would be a good start when you are trying to determine what dog breeds are friendly with other dogs.
"For example, pack hounds often view other dogs as part of their team, and hunting/retrieving dogs are often calm, obedient and enjoy the company of other dogs."
Here are their top five dog breeds that get on well with other four-legged furry friends.
Top five dog breeds that are friendly with other dogs
1. Cocker Spaniel
These energetic and playful dogs get along exceptionally well with both with humans and other dogs.
They are happy and smart, and their friendly and gentle personalities are perfect for making furry friends for themselves.
2. Basset Hound
The experts explain that Basset Hounds are very relaxed pooches that get on well with other dogs and are very happy to 'go with the flow'.
These chilled out pooches also made our list of the calmest dog breeds, and they love to lounge around the house during the day.
3. Goldendoodle
A Goldendoodle, which is a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle, is another friendly breed mentioned by the pet experts.
They have a lovely nature and are very playful, and get along with both dogs and humans.
4. Golden Retriever
Golden Retrievers love to make friends with any person or pooch, and are known to be enthusiastic, cheerful and friendly.
Originally bred in Scotland as hunting dogs, they are not only friendly but are very intelligent.
5. English Foxhound
Bred as pack dogs, English Foxhounds prefer to be around other dogs rather than to be alone, so they're a perfect choice if you're looking to buy two dogs.
They can quickly get bored if they are on their own and need lots of exercise and playtime, so those who don't have a lot of time on their hands may not be equipped to look after two or more English Foxhounds.

Nicola Peltz makes savage family remark as Brooklyn set to snub little sister Harper's big birthday
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz are expected to miss Harper's 14th birthday celebrations this week as they continue to celebrate Nicola's father's birthday for a second week. Nicola Peltz has made a number of eyebrow raising remarks about family life as her father's birthday celebrations enter a third week but it seems a return to the UK for Brooklyn's little sister Harper's big day is said to be highly unlikely. Talks of tension between Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola's relationship with David and Victoria first started in 2022, around the time of the pair's wedding and it appears there are no signs of their frosty feud ending any time soon. The 26-year-old aspiring chef is still celebrating the birthday of Nicola's billionaire dad, who she referred to as the "most loving father", just weeks after snubbing his own dad's 50th milestone birthday in the UK. The American actress has paid another gushing tribute to her family again as her father Nelson Peltz's 83rd birthday celebrations continue into a second week. Showing her followers her Pop Mart dolls lined up in a row, she wrote: "our little family", with a telling second snap, which she captioned: "My mom just gets it." There was more to come as she rounded off her collection with a snap of herself hugging her father, writing: "I love you so much dad." Meanwhile, her husband Brooklyn's younger sister Harper turns 14 on Thursday but a source claims that the Peltz Beckhams have no intentions of joining in on the teen's celebrations back in the UK, the Mirror reports. Harper, who is the youngest of Posh and Beck's four kids, is said to have become collateral damage alongside Brooklyn's two younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, as an insider claims the family fallout is mainly between Brooklyn and his parents. The source said: 'Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn. "They've always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she'd become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers. "But obviously that hasn't happened and it's potentially going to be heartbreaking for Harper if Brooklyn doesn't show up for her on her birthday.' Join the Daily Record's WhatsApp community here an While Brooklyn and Nicola celebrated billionaire Nelson's birthday in Bedford New York with the Peltz family, Posh and Becks were back at home in the UK. Nicola, 30, later posted a snap to social media of her and Brooklyn with her dad and penned a gushing tribute. It said: 'I am so lucky to be your daughter, you're the most loving and supportive father I could ever dream of… Thank you for always being there for us – our constant love and support.' If Brooklyn fails to acknowledge his little sister's birthday, it will be the latest hurtful move in a string of snubbed family events and milestones that the Beckham's eldest son has dismissed amid their ongoing rift. In May, Brooklyn missed all of David's pre-birthday bashes in the Cotswolds and Paris, also snubbing his star-studded dinner at the Michelin starred west London restaurant. The football icon was joined by some of his closest pals to celebrate his 50th birthday, including Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria and Guy Ritchie, and was treated to a performance by son Cruz, 20, on his guitar, while Romeo, 22, was tasked with the job of carrying in David's cake. Given that Brooklyn also failed to acknowledge his father's big milestone on any of his social media channels but publicly wished Nelson 'A Happy Birthday'. He also remained silent on Father's Day and when his father was honoured with a royal knighthood last month. Therefore, insiders have claimed that the chances of Brooklyn 'showing up for Harper' are looking pretty slim. The source said:'A teenage birthday is a big deal for any child and in the past they've always tried to do things together as a family. 'Victoria would like nothing more than for Brooklyn to show up to celebrate with them all, but it's not looking likely at all.

More info Since its premiere on ITV in 2009, The Chase has become one of the most beloved quiz shows in the annals of British television. Presented by Bradley Walsh, this fast-paced game sees eager contestants trying to outwit 'The Chaser' in a bid to secure a cash prize. Currently, there are six official Chasers on the programme: Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan and Darragh Ennis. Each Chaser has their own moniker on the show and have become familiar faces in homes across the country, thanks to the success of the show and their appearances on the ITV spin-off, Beat the Chasers. But who is the top Chaser of them all? New research conducted by Betway has looked at factors such as accuracy, win rate, and highest target caught to determine the ultimate Chaser. Viewers might be taken aback to learn that when it comes to financial success, Paul Sinha takes the crown, reports the Daily Record. (Image: ITV) Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha boasts a 78 per cent win rate over his 436 appearances on The Chase. The quiz whizz's average target to beat stands at 19 and he holds the record for the highest average Chaser win total, raking in £14,651, making him the most financially successful chaser on the show. Meanwhile, Mark Labbett, also known as 'The Beast', has a 76 per cent win rate over 475 episodes since he first appeared on the show in 2009. Mark, the original Chaser of the show, holds the record for the highest average target to beat, at 20, and the highest accuracy in the final chase, answering 83% of questions correctly. On the other hand, Anne Hegerty, known as 'The Governess', is ranked as the top Chaser on television. With 467 appearances and a win rate of 79% - the joint highest of any Chaser - it's no surprise she's viewed as the most formidable opponent. In the final chase, Anne averages 13 correct answers within the 60-second timeframe, with an average target of 19, the second highest among her colleagues. Who is the most successful chaser on The Chase? Here are the data comparisons between Chasers Anne, Mark and Paul: Anne Hegerty - 467 appearances - 85 per cent accuracy - 79 per cent Chaser win rate - win total £12,815 Mark Labbett - 475 appearances - 83 per cent accuracy - 76 per cent Chaser win rate - win total £13,844 Paul Sinha - 436 appearances - 84 per cent accuracy - 78 per cent Chaser win rate - win total £14,651 The latest newcomer to the ITV programme is Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis who joined the show in November 2020.
