Saint Bernard
The Saint Bernard dog breed was originally developed to rescue people in the Great St. Bernard Pass located in the Swiss Alps. They are affectionate with just about everyone they meet, whether we are talking about strangers, children or dogs, or other animals.
That being said, even though the Saint Bernard is a large dog breed, they are extremely quiet, loving and friendly creatures, but they are not best suited for apartments, because they need enough space to move. Being developed to withstand the cold temperatures of the Alps, the Saint Bernard does not do well in the heat. So, bring them inside if they show signs of overheating.
According to animal experts, this dog breed is not known for barking without a real cause. Unfortunately, experts say that they are a short lived breed, usually only 8 to 10 years.

Thank you for all this information. Keep writing about different types of dogs and their personalities. Keeping people informed before they adopt or buy a pet. I really enjoyed reading this.
You left out husky and Alaskan malamute.
You left out the Japanese Chin.
The sharpei is not a good family breed dog or dog for most people. It was bred to fight and retains that aggression. Training cannot override centuries of breeding for fighting and it’s a liability to attack people or other animals without warning. My neighbor’s sheep were disemboweled by a sharpie that jumped their fence and attached them. Chow is another with too much selection for aggression in the blood. These are both on the uninsurable list for homeowner’s insurance for a reason.
I’m surprised Boston Terrier is not on this list. My Boston Terrier will only bark when told to.
