5 Popular Dog Breeds For ChildrenBy Gerald NjugunaWhen choosing a dog for your family, it’s an excellent idea to keep your children in mind. This is because certain dogs are not tolerant to children and can harm them. That said, there are many dog breeds to choose from. All that is needed is to research properly and see which dog works best with your family. The Labrador Retriever is considered to be the best dog breed for children. The reason why this dog is widely accepted is because of its good dog nature and that its not very aggressive or hyper. It’s a playful and intelligent dog and that’s why its its loved by the young and old people. Its also a first choice in working with the handicapped because of its mild manner. The animal is also very accommodating with people and can live up to thirteen years. The Golden Retriever is number 2 in the list. Its personality is similar to the Labrador in that it’s mild mannered in nature, kind & enjoys being around people. The Golden Retriever is a good choice in working with the handicapped and the elderly. This breed is great with older children who enjoy the outdoors because of their playful nature. Due to their long hair, they require regular grooming. The third dog is is the Beagle. They are not aggressive even though they have a baying bark. This makes them good watch dogs. They have a friendly demeanor about them and you will notice that their tails seem to be in an unending wagging motion. Due to their friendly nature, they don’t like being left alone and become easily bored when left by themselves for long periods of time. Another great dog is the Basset Hound. It’s a docile animal but is also known for its stubbornness. They are also known for being gentle and are quite sweet by nature. They love being with children of all ages and enjoy getting attention from them. The German shepherd dog breed is another great dog. These dogs are a good choice for older children that like playing outdoors. Due to their huge size and strength, they are not recommended for younger children. German Shepherds are famous for their loyalty to their masters and are used for rescue missions. Being protective and tolerant in nature, it’s a good idea to start training them as pups. Without proper training, they can turn out to be a handful. In conclusion, when choosing a dog for your family, do remember that there are always exceptions to the rules. Just note that though certain dog breeds are more friendly to children than others, always be cautious with your child around unknown dogs.
