Everyone remembers this breed from the movie, 101 Dalmatians. They are very cute and adorable. Originally from the United Kingdom, these dogs are very human-friendly, energetic, respectful and cheerful.

2. Labrador Retrievers

The Labrador Retriever is the most famous breed of dog ever known to man. Because of their intelligent, tactful and friendly nature, a Labrador Retriever is often termed to be the most human-friendly breed. They love to play with humans and love them unconditionally. They are also very good with babies. 

3. Golden Retrievers

Often confused with Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers come next on the list in terms of being people friendly. They are energetic and cheerful in nature and also can be trained very easily. 

4. Beagles

Beagles participate in a wide variety of activities such as hunting, scent detection and tracking. They are good natured and have a playful streak in them.

5. Siberian Huskies

7. Irish Setter

Irish Settlers trace their roots to Ireland; and these beautiful four legged creates have red or brown colour coats on their bodies. Apart from being so good looking, they are known for their compassionate nature towards family and friends.

8. Shih Tzus

A Shih Tzu looks like a compact small sized furry ball that you would like to cuddle up with. They have a very strong personality with numerous positive traits, including affection, playfulness and understanding. However, they can get demanding at times and might keep you on your toes. 

9. Samoyeds

The Samoyed is gentle and spirited. They enjoy outdoor exercises, especially in colder climates. However, without sufficient companionship to please their sociable nature, they can get quite rowdy. 

10. Basset Hounds
