5. Australian Shepherd
Believe it or not, Australian Shepherds are true Velcro pets! They’re very energetic, love to play with their beloved family, and even ignore other dogs when they spend time with you.
While it’s funny to have them follow you around all the time, they can make you exhausted at times because they’re very playful and they need plenty of movement to burn off their energy.
We have many other clingy dog breeds to talk about, so keep reading!
6. Vizsla
Vizsla is known as the ultimate Velcro dog, and if you have a pup like this at home, you already know that they’re the happiest when they’re by your side.
This Hungarian clingy dog breed is devoted to its owner and will do anything to make you happy. While this pup is fun and cute, it is great for those who have an active lifestyle because they like to play and need a lot of movement to burn off their energy.
They were bred for falconry, so no wonder they like to run around all day. If you love hiking, hunting, and swimming, they’ll be your best companions and will make your day better.
Do you like these clingy dog breeds? We find them cute and lovely!

I own a German Shepherd who is 7 years old and is my constant loyal companion does not want to go with anybody else just wants to be with me at all costs and at all times I also just bought a sheltie who is almost 4 months old who nips at my four Papillons The German Shepherd has never harmed any of the other dogs how do I correct the sheltie from nipping at the Papillons feet? Should I use a shaker can with pennies a mesh muzzle spray bottle with water or anything else?
That works for several things .it worked for my cassie
What about a King Charles. They are the most loving doggies .
I’m sure others will comment about their Velcro pups, but for me and my bestie, it’s been Mini Schnauzers for over 40 years. I’ve never been alone, even when I was alone. They beat you to your chair, and you have to move them to sit down. They are wonderful companions. Some people say they are high maintenance (grooming), but that’s a small price to pay for unconditional love.
Love my pugs!
Have any of you even heard or seen a Portuguese Water Dog? They are renown as the most Velcro dogs. My Dad bred Vizslas ( in the 2970’s when no one had any idea of what they were). Yes, they follow you. But after Boxers( who was at my feet) Weinmaraners, poodles, German Short Hairs, Labs-nothing clings like my PWD. And he is as smart if not sneakier than our standard poodle.
I have own Shelties for the past 45 yrs and that nipping is just the herding instinct they have in them. Your Sheltie certainly doesn’t mean to be hurting your Papillions in any way but that it just doesn’t know that the nipping cannot be done on them. The methods you suggested, either one of them would be fine to use on this dog and I believe it will quickly learn that the nipping wll have to totally stop.
I have a full size golden doodle and Theo keeps me in line of sight constantly and follows me everywhere I go. He will come lay himself in my lap for 15-20 minutes so he can be with me and get rubs and hugs too. He sleeps on my bed and always lays right next to me. He is definitely a shadow that wants all the love he can get.
I cannot understand how you left Yorkshire Terriers off the list. If you own a Yorkie, whether sitting or standing, you are either holding a dog or having it walk all over you. They are an affectionate, needy breed.
