Out of Westies Yorkies and Shi tzus which one is best around small children?
Raerae587
The Westie is more tolerant of small children as it's a hardy little dog that likes a bit of rough and tumble and can therefore take a bit more rough handling and play from children. The Cairn Terrier is also ideal for children and has less health issues than the Westie.

What is the best dog for children?
it depends on how old the children are 0 to 5 years you need a small type of dog like a Yorkie or miniature poodle. 5 and older you should get a bigger dog like a corgi or collie. Do some research on the type of dogs you like. Theres a website dogchannel.com they have a test you take and then it shows names of dogs that fit you pick 4 you would like to look at it will show you some pictures. Be careful with children around small dogs. Yorkies and minature poodles aren't tolerant of little children and will bite if the child inadvertantly hurts the dog. Very small children should be around calm natured, tolerant dogs. The size is less important than the temperment.
