What are the top 5 dogs that are good with children?

Answer 1

There are many breeds out there that are good with children. You need to make sure your children are good with dogs & know how to treat them. They need to learn to respect them, not pull ears, hit them, etc.

Also you need to educate yourself on breeds that you may like. Find a easy going breed by nature. Some breeds are more hyper than others, such as Terriers are intelligent but dog aggressive & hyper. They can be trained to be very good pets though. Labradors are a pretty placid breed but make sure you pick out a good breeder that breeds to better the breed. Golden Retrievers are a bit on the hyper side but they never have a bad day :-). Corgis are another nice breed. American Staffordshires are wonderful pets but a bit dog aggressive. A huge Bullmastiff can be the best child's dog ever, but can your family handle the stubbornness and large size of the Bullmastiff? You need to look at all things, size, temperament, good breeder, etc. If a puppy is well socialized and had lots of obedience training with the whole family involved, you can pretty much hope for a good pet. It takes much more than just finding a good breed, there is lots to do after you get the puppy. Hope this helps.
