If you have kids, they will always be a key factor when choosing a pet dog or deciding whether you will get one at all. You want a dog that you know will be friendly to them so you can always feel that they are safe. You may want a dog that does not shed to avoid allergies. Some breeds are recommended specifically for families with young children. Here are some of the best dogs to have if you have kids.
Golden Retriever
Retrievers are intelligent, friendly, and loyal dogs. They are great with kids and other pets (including cats). They need regular exercise and don’t shed much. Golden Retrievers also tend to have a long life of slightly over 12 years.
Collies
Collies are an excellent choice as they’re intelligent, loyal, and eager to please. They make perfect pets for people who want a dog that will keep them busy on walks or games of fetch. They also love children a lot!
Bichon Frise
Bichons are small, affectionate dogs and make an excellent choice for kids. They won’t bite or bark excessively, making them a good choice if you want to keep your pet with your family but don’t want an aggressive dog.
Bichons also tend not to be overly protective of their territory and will generally accept other pets as long as they get along with them in the first place (although some may still have issues).
Labrador Retrievers
Labrador Retrievers are a popular breed of dogs that are friendly and playful. They are also good with kids and have great personalities. Labrador Retrievers are easy to train, meaning you can teach your pet all kinds of tricks!
If you have allergies or asthma, this may be the perfect breed for you! Labradors don’t shed much hair—they’re less likely than other breeds to cause allergies or asthma attacks in people who aren’t allergic (which is why many people choose them over other dogs).
