What kind of dog would be best for children2007-11-25 2:53:26

If your kids are the ones that will climb on the dog, pull the dogs ears, yank on its leash...dont get a dog at all.

German shepards and dobermans are very good with children. They are protective of the family, but tolerate children "riding them". I had a german shepard when i was born, till i was 6. My entire family has had dobermans, and they are very sweet dogs, they love children.

Most people think golden retrivers and labs are good family dogs, yet ive seen more people get snapped at, growled at, and bit by those dogs more than any other dog.

In my own personal experience you can't go wrong with a golden retriever, they are good natured and like to play. I had a german shepard as a kid and it was very protective of me and my sister but it would get aggressive toward strangers.

cavalier king charles spaniels. definiately!! they are so, so, so friendly! i have never met one that isn't fun, loving and playful! they are certainly a great dog to have for kids- i am 15 and my family has one. he is great, doesn't shed, very playful and EXTREMELY CUTE!

so give it a try the only down side is some of them snore! but there is an operation you can give your dog if this is the case- but it only occurs in some dogs.

hope i could help!

cya :)

a would not suggest a terrior, as they can get snappy. But it depends on their up bringing.
