15 Dog Breeds That Will Claim A Spot On Your Bed

Some dogs love being around their owners so much that they want to get in bed with them and spend time there, cuddling with their favorite person. While we must train our dogs to respect our personal space, having a dog beside you can be comforting. This list has identified some dogs that love to nestle in bed with their owners.
Golden Retriever

Golden Retrievers wield loyalty on one hand and a desire to show love to their family on the other. Guess when these dogs are at their happiest? It’s when they’re near their owner. When they want to show love and attention, they snuggle with their owners—and that’s how they’ll start taking over your bed.
Labrador Retriever

One trait Labradors share with their golden extended family is their affectionate nature. Labradors are friendly toward other animals, so they won’t mind sharing your bed with you and your other dog. They are snuggly, so their big bodies may also try to claim chest or leg space, but anything for a comfy time with your pet, right?
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

We know you own your bed, but your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel will likely disagree. Sometimes, you want it all to yourself, but you may have to drop what you want to let it in. They are not called Velcro dogs for nothing. These cuties want to follow their owners everywhere—even to the bed.
Bulldog

A bulldog can be scary to others, but it’s the sweetest thing ever to its family. Your bed will likely be safer if you aren’t the dog’s primary caregiver because they tend to bond more with that person. But if you are, prepare to have an animal guest in it often, as these dogs can be clingy.
Pug

They are great as lapdogs because they’ll choose close contact with their owner over many things. However, this desire for closeness may follow you to the bedroom, where they’ll want their fair share of your bed. If your pug seems to prefer another resting spot, it may be because you haven’t introduced it to your bed.
Beagle

Beagles will spend the day busting their high energy and being inquisitive, but when it’s time to settle down or get some rest, one of their best places to be is with their owner. After a long day, these dogs desire to borrow, and your sleeping space may be their perfect burrowing spot.
Boxer

If you want a buddy who is playful and energetic and also loyal and loving, look no further than the boxer. These guys don’t love the outdoors as much as they love the indoors, and in their bid to show you how much they love you in your home, they may end up on your bed.
Yorkshire Terrier

There’s a lot you’ll have to teach your Yorkie, but they do not need any assistance whatsoever to figure out that your bed is its favorite place. Yorkies feel safe when lying next to you, and if you want them to feel that way, you may just have to let them become co-owners of your bed.
Dachshund

With their short legs, they love to follow their humans around the house. You can’t blame them, though. They just want to be close to you. It’s their love and loyalty that makes them want to join you on the couch or the bed. Thanks to their love for cuddling, you’ll have yourself a bed buddy if you want.
Greyhounds

On the race tracks, greyhounds look nothing like cuddle buddies, but when they’re at home, many of them want to feel some love. Most often, these dogs tend to flex some independence, but occasionally—even if it’s once a month—you may see your dog trying to share your bed with you.
Great Dane

To you, a Great Dane is a giant dog, but that is not the the truth to them, though. They see themselves as just another dog who deserves to sit on the lap of their darling owner. You can train your dog to prevent this, but if you love it, please enjoy your bed with your giant teddy bear.
Shih Tzu

Your bed is in trouble with Shih Tzus. Do you know why? Shih Tzus were created to be companion dogs. They want to be pampered, and as their human, meeting this need is your duty. Your Shih Tzu may want to sleep in your bed for comfort and bonding, and as a dog parent, you may see yourself giving in.
Maltese

One thing you should know about Maltese is that they love to lay close to their owners when they sleep. You could blame it on their doting nature or their preference for companionship. This means that if you love being on your bed a lot, then you’ll have your Maltese in your bed a lot, too!
Bernese Mountain Dog

Bernese Mountain Dogs’ love language is physical contact. Sitting at your feet may not bring them to your bed, but when they want to place their paws or head on your body or hug you, they may find their way to your bed. They don’t like to be left alone, so they will probably join you in bed.
Cocker Spaniel

While some of these energetic dogs may not want to cuddle, many crave such moments with their humans. As small dogs, having them sitting in your arms or lap can be comfortable. For dogs that will peer out of the window waiting for you to arrive home, you can’t expect them not to lay claim to your bed.
