There is nothing better than packing up your car or truck and heading out on a Road Trip for a couple of days on the open road. And there is no better way to spend that time than with your best furry friend.

Dogs are amazing companions and are man’s best friend, and they will provide you with constant friendship as well as entertainment during your trip.

But which breeds of dog make the best road trip buddies? There are so many dog breeds out there to choose from, but we have rounded up which ones we think are the best to bring along with you on the open road this year.

Labrador Retrievers

The top choice and absolutely the best companion to bring with you on a road trip has to be a Labrador. Labrador retrievers are the most stunning and friendly dog breed around, and they are the ideal companion on the road. Their patience as well as their goofiness makes them ideal for long car rides because they will likely either fall asleep or pop their head out of the window and enjoy the breeze! If you have a Labrador, now is the time to find a Sierra for sale and head out on the open road for a good time.

Springer Spaniels

English springer spaniels are one of the most entertaining dog breeds of all. Their incessant tail wagging and hopping through long grass is enough to make anyone laugh, and they are also full of energy that will carry on long after you have given up for the day. As a Road Trip buddy, springer spaniels will keep you motivated and when you do go for walks and hikes, they will pull you along even when your legs get tired. These friendly and sociable dogs will keep you feeling motivated and alert even when all of your energy has drained.

Huskies

It is no surprise that huskies are on this list, since they are built to be sled dogs and made for the great outdoors. A husky can be your motivation as well as your best friend on an adventure, and as well as this they will provide some unique music for you in the car journey!

French Bulldogs

If you want a dog who will be the ideal companion for a laid back road trip, a french bulldog is a great choice. This tiny little sacks of dynamite are always happy and peppy, and they will provide you with the perfect cuddly companion on the road. Frenchies love to stick their head out of the car window and they are also patient meaning the long car journeys won’t bother them at all.

Collies

Collies, particularly Border Collies, are one of the smartest dog breeds of all and this makes them ideal for joining you on an adventure. Collies love to work and love to be in new situations, and this means every new place you visit will be like a new playground for your collie. Plus, they are incredibly obedient meaning letting them off the lead will not be a problem no matter how far from home you travel.

Prince Lionheart Travel Gear

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and honest.

Having kids can be tough on your vehicle. With sticky fingers and lost snacks, muddy feet and spilled milk, lost toys and cheerios- all will eventually be found (or not) in the cracks and crevices of your vehicle. There are quite a few products available to help cub the ‘kidification’ of your vehicle. Prince Lionheart has two which are particularly effective.

First up we have the back seat organizer. This organizer has pockets, clips, zippers, clasps, and pouches for just about everything. This organizer installs to the back of the front seat with a few simple straps and can be put in, in minutes. The organizer is also easy to remove so when spills do happen, clean up is a breeze. One of the most interesting features of the organizer are the ‘distraction’ pouches. These are opaque pouches on the upper left and right sides of the organizer meant to be grabbed and handed to your little ones to act as a distraction. Traffic with a screaming child in the back can only be tolerated for so long before something must be done and a distraction can be all that is needed sometimes. From a new toy, a snack, or a new book all could work and would fit in this special pocket. Prince Lionheart calls it ‘sanity restore’, and for those who have been in the situation that is definitely the best way to describe it.
