Breed Showdown: Who’s Most Likely to Steal Your Heart…or Your Sandwich?

You can tell a lot about a dog by their dating profile. Some are clingy cuddlers. Others are aloof charmers who only text you back when it’s time to eat. At 321dogs, we’ve met them all—and their fictional owners too. So we decided to settle some scores.

Here’s our first Breed Showdown, where we rank the most lovable, complicated, and chaotic canine personalities. Each title links to the full profile, so if someone steals your heart (or your breakfast), you can get to know them better.
