All dogs, in their own way, add a party to our lives: Their attitude, demeanor, ever-faithful presence, and unconditional adoration of us.
Some dog breeds, however, are the life of the party simply by their sheer presence and the way they light up a room like a box full of holiday lights. Kick off 2014 the right way with these 10 breeds who go the extra mile in the "party like there's no tomorrow" department:

1. Beagle: One word: Snoopy. Any Beagle parent can attest that this stately and super fun hound is always up for either an expedition, attention, or perhaps a little of both. Known for their keen nose, watch the party snacks when this self-assured canine is nearby.

2. Collie: One word: Lassie. People just seem to want to touch this gentle herding breed. Intelligent and kind-hearted, the breed is generally easy to train and good with children.

3. Lakeland Terrier: Intelligent and inquisitive with a zest for life, this member of the terrier group is the perfect party guest. Known for their antics in keeping family members amused, Lakelands shed little to no hair, so no worries about post party clean up!

4. Keeshond: Originating in the Netherlands, this breed is dubbed the "laughing Dutchman," so he's made for party fun! They thrive on attention and are both outgoing and family-oriented dogs with a gregarious "here I am" nature.

5. Bull Terrier: Lively, playful, and quite the charmer, the Bull Terrier needs to be socialized with other people and pets early on so as not to feel threatened by them. Once this breed has mojo working, look out party people: He loves to socialize.

6. Jack Russell Terrier: Keep him active or he will get bored: Sounds like a party pooch, doesn't he? Described as a lively, eager, and intelligent breed, the Jack Russell Terrier needs to be kept busy or he may get bored and chew a lampshade or two. A bit independent/stubborn in nature, this rambunctious Rover is a driven breed ready to party! Get the down low on the Jack Russell Terrier and his strong instincts before welcoming one into your life.

7. Greyhound: We double dog dare you to walk past a Greyhound and not feel the urge to give him or her a big hug. Intelligent, noble, and with a playful sense of humor these gentle giants make an entrance at any gathering.

8. Maltese: Mischievous, adorable, affectionate, and high spirited: Sounds like a fab party guest, does she not? The Maltese is a playful dog who thrives on positive interaction and attention. Don't let this small package fool you, though: They love to both play and snuggle and do not do well with rough housing from kids, so tread lightly.

9. Golden Retriever: Always up for an adventure, this breed exudes joy and spontaneity. With their eager to please personality, not only are they often employed in search and rescue, but they excel in just about any activity in which they partake. Did you know the Golden Retriever's roots are grounded in British nobility?

10. Old English Sheepdog: Those in the know of this breed will admit to their sometimes "goofy" nature, and what party would be complete without a goofball? A family pleaser, he is playful and protective of his flock. Hollywood even loves the Old English Sheepdog, so be sure to check out this breed's bio and background.

Nice idea. maltese is the one i thought so cute.. Of course I love mutt dogs.
 
Wow ! I am surprise Standard Poodles did not make the list. Finlay was always doing something silly for attention.
 
Yeah...and of course my Pom-Pom...she would "hump" a teddy bear whenever guests came over....I finally had to throw it away....:giggle:

I agree. Funny thing, though...did you know that the Navy Seals use poodles on their missions? No kidding.

Poodles are very smart and they are water retrievers.

That's where the Poodle cut originated. It kept their joints and organs warm while retrieving in cold water.

I knew that too, I read their tails where docks to show that they where working dogs . They have a very gentle bite and will not damage the duck . Finlay picked up my hearing aid and carried it to his blanket to watch for me while I was taking a nap. When I woke up I could not find my HA on the coffee table and there was my dog guiding it for me. Damn he was so smart . There was not one tooth mark on my hearing aid , he was very careful in carrying it in powerful mouth. I also said Finlay was too smart ,. Marty is very smart too.
 
My dog is a mixture of Collie and Sheepdog...she is full of energy a.d lots of fun.

I believe it , Finlay was trained by a prisoner and I met the guy. He told me when the prisoners heard a Standard Poodle was being send to be trained all the guys thought Finlay was going to be bimbo . The prisoner I met said he could not believe how smart Finlay was and that the guys has great time training him. I felt very safe when I had Finlay , he was very protected of me .

just a thought here regarding the Collie and coming from my perspective as a trainer - all collies do not equal "Lassie". The folks at Yahoo Shine make it easier for readers to put that connection together when it's written like that.
"Lassie" was a series of extremely highly trained, male dogs <they wanted males for size and degree of coat> and does not portray the average or even trained pet<as in typical household pet> Collie.
