And not only are these dog breeds friendly and affectionate, but 3 out of the 4 are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, too, which is perfect for most Idahoans.

The referenced list of affectionate dog breeds is from Pets Radar.

For Idaho families seeking a furry friend to join them on their adventures, or for individuals seeking an intelligent companion dog, choosing an affectionate dog breed is paramount, especially one that can adapt to your lifestyle.

Though, as mentioned above, there is one dog breed on the list that maybe isn't the greatest fit for extremely active lifestyles — Bulldogs — They enjoy laying around and relaxing! So, if you're like me and that's what you enjoy doing, too, then that's a great dog to have!

They're still a very popular dog breed in Idaho, but because of their limited stamina and endurance, and because they're notorious for their short-nosed structure and breathing difficulties, they're generally better-suited for a more relaxed lifestyle.

But Idaho families are known for active lifestyles and their love of outdoor activities, and having a dog by their side only enhances their experiences and adventures. So, what dog is "the perfect Idaho dog?"
