Shar-Pei

The Shar-Pei is the perfect breed for you if you are older and you feel like a lap dog is overrated. This breed, being medium-sized, is one of the easiest to train and home train as well. They don’t like strangers very much, so they’re excellent watchdogs. They are very autonomous, making them a good choice for owners who go away for long periods of time. The Shar-Pei, however, is a great choice for you if you like to take long walks or get out a lot. Not to mention, due to their short hair, they have minimal grooming needs.

Miniature Pinscher

The Minature Pinscher is a cuddly little dog for senior citizens who’ve been searching for a full of energy little companion that would be excellent. This breed is playful, busy, curious, and autonomous. While sometimes it can be headstrong, this dog shows affection for its family, but it can be reserved with strangers. With occasional brushing, it requires minimum care for its coat. It requires a lot of indoor or outdoor activities that can be done. Not to mention, it’s not meant for living outdoors, and it doesn’t like the cold.
