1. Miniature Schnauzer

This cute dog is one of America’s favorites. They are smart and fast learners, so you can teach them all the tricks you want. If you’ve always wanted to have a guard dog, you are in for a treat, because miniature Schnauzers enjoy their roles as being the house protectors. However, they might get noisy if they take themselves very seriously.

As much as they like to share their affection with you, these dogs don’t mind if you leave them home alone for many hours, as long as you leave them enough food, water, and toys to keep them busy until you come back.
