Getting a Puppy: What Breed is good for Kids?

By Dirk Gruenberg


Choosing a new puppy for one's family is always quite exciting. But which one should it be? And which breed? Which one will be the best fit for you and your family - especially the kids too?

One common choice, especially if you have small kids, is the pug. The pug is relatively small himself and is very friendly. His sweet nature is a great match for kids. Furthermore, the pug is conveniently easy to handle and to take care off.

Of course, the Shih-Tzu should also be noted as a particularly friendly and family-suited dog. Since the Shih-Tzus are small in size, they are especially great for little kids to. And they love kids and kids tend to also adore them.

But the list goes on, and Labrador retrievers and Golden retrievers need to be mentioned, too, of course. Even though they are bigger in size then the breeds mentioned above, they are great to have with kids, because they are super friendly.

And here is one more: The cocker spaniel. Cocker spaniels can be super loyal dogs, kind, affectionate, and gentle. But all the breeds mentioned here can be great choices really.

So, lots of breeds to choose from. But whichever one you go for, please make sure that you always need to be present when your puppy is with your kids. Especially in the beginning.

Also keep in mind that each dog is different. The way he behaves around your children is not only up to the breed, but also his own personality. Moreover, your training will be key too.

Again, whatever breed you bring into your home with your children make sure that it is supervised properly when it is around the little children and that it goes for training.

If you make supervision a must, then your kids should always be fine. In the rare events where dogs injure children, it usually happens because they were left alone with them.
