The breeds you'll commonly see at Wagbar share some important traits:
Social flexibility – they adapt well to new dogs and situations
Moderate to high energy – they benefit from off-leash play and interaction
Good basic manners – their owners have invested in some level of training
Stress resilience – they handle busy, stimulating environments well

The Beauty of Diversity
While certain breeds are more common at Wagbar, our community thrives on diversity. Some of our most memorable dogs have been the unexpected visitors – the Great Danes who think they're lap dogs, the Chihuahuas who run the small dog area, and the mixed breeds who bring the best of multiple worlds.
Every dog that walks through our doors adds something special to the Wagbar experience. Whether your dog is a common breed or a rare find, they're part of what makes our community unique.
Finding Your Dog's Pack
The breeds you'll commonly see at Wagbar represent just a fraction of the dogs who can thrive in our environment. What they share isn't their pedigree – it's their love for social interaction, their owners' commitment to positive experiences, and their ability to be part of something bigger than themselves.
Your dog's breed might give us clues about their needs and preferences, but their individual personality is what matters most. At Wagbar, we've learned that the best predictor of a dog's success isn't their breed – it's their willingness to be part of a community where every tail wag is welcome.
