Velcro Dogs 2025: Here are 18 of the stickiest - and least sticky - breeds of adorable dog - from loving Labrador to distant Chow Chow 🐶
We're a nation of dog lovers, with around one-in-three households including at least one four-legged friend . Four cuddly - and less cuddly - breeds of dog. | Canva/Getty Images By far the most popular pet in the UK, they make for wonderful companions, all the while improving both our mental and physical health - and that's a scientific fact. The army of dog owners continues to grow, with 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, alongside numerous crossbreeds . Choosing the right breed is absolutely essential – for example opting for a small dog if you don't have much room at home, or a hypoallergenic dog if you suffer from allergies. There's also always the option of adopting a dog from a dog shelter for a minimal fee - for example from the Dogs Trust . One thing you might like to consider when it comes to picking a pup is that some breeds have a tendancy to be 'velcro dogs' - desperate to be as close to you at all times and constantly in need of reassurance and affection. That can be lovely, but for those who need to be able to leave their dogs alone for a few hours without causing any stress or anxiety, other breeds are more independent and happy in their own company, rather than feeling the need to be pressed up against you. With that in mind, here are the 18 stickiest - and least sticky - breeds of dog. 1 . Labrador Retriever We're starting with the most velcro of sticky pup. The UK's most popular dog for umpteen years (although it has lately received some competition from the French Bulldog), the Labrador Retriever will rarely leave their owner's side unless forced to. On walks it's unusual for these lovable creatures to stray far enough to lose sight of their humans - lest they risk losing their best friends. | Canva/Getty Images Photo Sales 2 . Pomeranian When it comes to lap dogs, the Pomeranian is probably the ultimate example. They've pretty much been bred to curl up on humans, a trait that made them much beloved of Queen Victoria. If you think you'll be able to watch the TV alone on the couch with a Pomeranian around - think again. | Canva/Getty Images Photo Sales 3 . Vizsla It's thought that the term 'velcro dog' was originally coined for the silky-coated Hungarian Vizsla. Thase charmers just love to be in close contact with their pet parents, whether it's on the couch or on outdoor adventures, where you can be sure they'll be right by your side at all times. The only issue is that if you really have to leave them alone, they may become anxious. | Canva/Getty Images Photo Sales 4 . Golden Retriever What is true of the Labrador Retriever also tends to be true of close cousins the Golden Retriever - and that's the case with their general stickiness. They will tend to be very interested in everything you are doing, and keep a close eye on how you are doing it - ready to offer any help they can. | Canva/Getty Images Photo Sales

Emotional Support Vizsla Hilariously Turns Into the Canine God of Destruction When Dad's Around
Some dogs have a comical amount of personality. One moment, they can be the perfect little angel, and at another, they can be every bit as destructive as any force of nature.

Geez, that is some pure canine God of destruction energy being unleashed!

Because in this video, that dog is pretty much assaulting his human dad without any qualms whatsoever, LOL. On the other hand, he is the ultimate good boy and sweet, fluffy angel whenever his mom is around. Like we said earlier, sometimes dogs seem to almost have multiple personalities!

National dog club holds specialty & companion competition in South Sioux City
SOUTH SIOUX CITY, Neb. (KCAU) — The Vizsla Club of America is holding its National Specialty & Companion events this week in South Sioux City. The competition is taking place at the South Sioux City Marriott Riverfront from April 22 to April 26. Around 300 Vizsla dogs from around the world are participating in events. The show is free and open to the public. Organizers said there are a few reasons why they decided to hold this year's event in Siouxland. 'We currently rotate between different areas. This year is our Central Division. (A) couple of years ago, we started looking for a spot that is easy for people to get to because they're coming from both coasts,' said Jill Hoffbeck, an event chair for the Vizslas Club of America. 'You guys have great restaurants around here, great hospitality, so it just really puts everything together. Great spot to work with.' WinnaVegas warns of fraudulent online advertisements Club officials said the competition features many activities, such as Junior Showmanship, obedience, rally, educational events, agility, and Judge education. Organizers said the event is a great way of introducing the public to the Vizsla dog breed. 'A lot of people will describe them as being Velcro. We call them Velcro Vizsla and they very much are, but they're also versatile, which is why this week is so exciting for everybody because they can do so much. Like, (Kaper) wants to go walking and do fun stuff. This is not their forte. He's actually starting to do therapy work and he's training for that. So they can do things like real humans, but they can also go and show that they know how to do sits and downs and heel in the show ring,' said Hoffbeck. There's also an All-Star Review limited to Vizslas with Conformation Championship and either a Field Championship or Master Hunter title and more. The best-of-breed will be announced on April 26.
