Best Dog Breeds for Children - Pet Care Information
 How
well a dog gets along with children will have
to do, in large part, with how it is raised. While
there are some dogs that are better suited to
children, all dogs need to be trained and socialized
around them.
Children, young ones especially,
have a tendency to play a little rough. They are
not always aware of their own strength. For this
reason, dogs in these families must be patient
and tolerant. Even with the best of dogs, though,
young children should always be supervised while
playing with or around a dog. This is for both
the child's and the dog's protection.
Families with children should
also look for a dog that can play with the kids
for hours without getting so excited that they
could cause injury. A good match for young children
is a puppy that is socialized with children from
the very beginning of life or an older dog that
has already been trained around kids.
The age of the children is something
that also needs to be considered. In general,
families should look for dogs that are patient,
tolerant and have an energy level that matches
that of the family's. It is important to take
the time to research the dog that you are considering
adding to your family to make sure they have a
compatible temperament. Children and the right
dog can form lasting bonds that will bring many
joys and memories.
