35+ of the Most Peaceful Dogs for Any Owner

When deciding which pooch is best for your porch there's a lot of factors to take into account. IF you're looking for a calm dog to snuggle up with at the end of the day, you've come to the right place.

This dog is similar to its big cousin, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Like many lap dogs, they require much less time at the park or chasing the ball, and instead enjoy curling up on their owners' laps. The English Toy Spaniel does require some maintenance though - some people recommend that you brush them twice a week at least. Other than that, they don't need a whole lot more. Being a rare breed, it may take some time and effort to find one.

As the title suggests, these dogs could very well be considered the clowns of the dog world for their love of play and their confident, goofy, lovable personalities. They are dogs that love to show off to their owners, so having one could likely mean that you'll have a dog who could perform lots of neat tricks. While they're still pretty low maintenance in terms of grooming and exercise, they do need a short walk at least once during the day.

This is the kind of dog that you can take with you anywhere. Whether you live in the bustling city, or a calm, rural region, these dogs do great just about anywhere. While still part of the spaniel family, these dogs don't have that same excitable energy that is common with that kind of dog. Outside, these dogs love to show off their howl and bark, but inside they tend to remain a very calm and docile breed.

Thought that the Sussex Spaniel was the calmest Spaniel breed you were going to ever find on this list? Well, think again! The Clumber Spaniel isn't the most active of all dogs - in fact, it could adequately be described as a complete couch potato. Don't get this dog if you're looking for a guard dog either. The Clumber Spaniel is so friendly and so calm, that any burglar who breaks in will be greeted with a tail wag and a lick.
