There isn't a single "best" dog for a young child, although there are several breeds that are considered family friendly. These breeds include Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Saint Bernard and Great Dane. However, if your child is particularly active you may want to consider a high-energy dog like a Border Collie or German Pointer. If your child is more inclined to walking rather than running, a Greyhound or smaller breed dog may be better.
If you are looking to adopt a dog, I strongly suggest checking out your local dog pound, animal shelter or humane society. These facilities often have younger adult dogs that have been relinquished by their owners for a variety of reasons, including moving and not being able to take their pet with them. These dogs are often house trained, leash trained and basic obedience trained.
