5 Best Dog Breeds For Households W/ Children
5 BEST DOG BREEDS – Here’s a list of dog breeds that Is best for families and children.
It can be exciting to select a family dog that is especially kid-friendly, but before deciding on a breed, there are certain things to consider both the pet and the adoptive family. Experts agree that before choosing a dog to adopt or welcome into the family, families should take a few factors into account.
The dog’s temperament, energy level, and maintenance were among the topics that were frequently raised. According to a post on Veterinarians.org, the family’s preferences will determine the dog’s size. Compared to smaller dogs, large dogs may take up more room in the car or need wide open spaces for their exercise.
Another key element for families to think about is maintenance, as this will be relevant depending on the dynamics of the family. Is the household active? Can it afford to pay for the dog’s grooming and medical examinations?
The same article emphasized the need for pet families to take into account the following dog concerns: level of shedding, coat kinds, trimming, level of drooling, and breed-specific health issues.
Similarly, the American Kennel Club (AKC) has a list. It identified 10 dog breeds that it thought would be good for families and described each breed’s distinct energy level, demeanor, grooming needs, etc.
They placed these breeds of dogs on their lists of family-friendly and kid-friendly canines.
There is no particular order to this list.
1. Labrador Retriever
This breed is sociable and easily trained. Labrador Retrievers are excellent outdoor companions and have a lot of activity. Prepare to brush them once a week as they shed frequently.
2. Golden Retriever
The Labrador Retriever is a pleasant and trainable breed, and so is this one. They are also intelligent, kind, and patient.
One of the best family dogs you can find, according to Pete Lands, DVM, director of emergency and critical care at Saint Francis Veterinary Center, is the golden retriever. “While they may not like it, golden retrievers tend to be apathetic to young kids pulling on their ears or tugging at their tails,” he told Reader’s Digest.
3. Beagle
Compared to the first two, the breed is somewhat shorter and more compact. Beagles are amiable and like playing just like them. Avoid owning a Beagle if you’re not home much because they can become uneasy when left alone.
4. Pug
Pugs are cute and affectionate. They don’t need to be coddled and have minimal energy, but they do need to exercise to keep their weight in check. They can readily adjust to different conditions and are at ease in small homes.
5. Rescue dogs
These are the animals that require a long-term home. Most are believed to be kind, loving, and appreciative of those who pick them to be a part of a loving, safe family.
