<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Australian Shepherd is a breed that was created to herd and protect sheep<\/a>. It is also considered to be one of the most intelligent breeds ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australian Shepherds, on the other hand, need stimulation because they are easily bored. If they are bored, they will seek out something interesting to do, and sometimes that is running away. Shepherd breeds can escape an average of 0.9 times per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s face it: Staffies are obstinate. To keep them satisfied, they need strict leadership and plenty of exercises. This particular terrier could easily climb a six-foot fence if not closely watched by their keepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is simple for them to be enticed by something on the other side of the wall. These muscular powerhouses also have large paws that are useful for digging underneath the wall instead. This is one of the most common dog breeds that run away, and it takes a strong person to handle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bloodhound is well-known for its keen sense of smell<\/a>, which, according to reports, often tempts them away from their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They like to run away from home 1.5 times a month on average, putting them very high among dog breeds that roam and run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Great Pyrenees is a big working dog with a lot of self-assurance and no fear. They make excellent guard dogs as well. However, sitting around and protecting can become tedious after a while, and they begin to yearn for adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from their excellent physical and defensive attributes, owners can also rely on their talent for fleeing more than 1.2 times per month. If you’re looking for dogs that don’t run away, this definitely is not the one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Great Danes are a social breed, but they, like humans, still seek solitude. This dog enjoys spending time alone. They usually hop over fences to go on their own discovery expeditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have been observed escaping up to 14.4 times a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they are small, these sausage pups were initially bred to hunt badgers<\/a> into underground caves. Dachshunds are highly conscious of their surroundings, are excellent at digging, and can travel quickly to capture small animals and birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dachshund puppies are tenacious, stubborn, and faithful to their parents. Suppose you don’t see a dachshund running off to catch a bird. In that case, the cunning wiener dog is presumably looking for his owner because he suffers from separation anxiety<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
