If you’re looking for a way to spoil your kids while also teaching them responsibility, then getting a dog for your family could be a great idea. Still, not every dog is necessarily going to get along with small children. Here are some known child-friendly dog breeds that have a great track record when it comes to getting along with kids.
Labrador Retriever
Friendly, playful, and energetic, Labradors are excellent dogs for small children, especially as they start to grow and move around a lot. What’s more, these dogs are often patient and fairly easy to train, making them the ideal companion for children.
Beagle
If you’re looking for a smaller dog, then Beagles are perfect for your family. Unlike many other dogs of a similar size, beagles are not fussy and generally low maintenance. While these dogs require plenty of exercise, this makes a Beagle ideal for families with sporty kids who enjoy spending a lot of time outdoors.
Bulldog
Generally easy-going, calm, and friendly, Bulldogs make great companions for kids, especially small ones, given that they’re not easily irritated. They generally don’t require a lot of exercise apart from regular walks, making them ideal for families who don’t have a ton of space or large yards.
