.Top 10 Dog Breeds for Children and Families


Golden Retrievers: While choosing a dog for family, the first obvious choice is a golden retriever. They make good family dogs, because of their loyalty, friendliness and protective nature towards children and family (if they are in any danger).



Labrador Retrievers: Another retriever which is a popular choice by families is the labrador retriever. They adjust well in almost any type of home, have a laid-back attitude, get along with other dogs and pets in the house and are loyal towards their owners (although they are picky eaters).



Pug: Unlike other "toy" breeds, pugs are very affectionate, friendly and don't become nervous around people. A plus point about pugs is that they are low in maintenance and don't need excessive grooming or exercising.



Irish Setter: Originally used as a hunting dog, similar to golden retrievers, Irish setters are now bred as family dogs. It is very accommodating, loves to please people and is easy to train. They are not at all aggressive, greet guests enthusiastically, affectionate towards people, active in nature and highly intelligent.



Beagle: Personally, I think that beagles are one of the cutest dog breeds ever. Although it isn't widely popular as a family dog, they are incredibly active, loves to be out a lot and play and make amazing companions. The only downside to this sweet dog is that they like to chew on things, so you need to spend more time on their training.




Australian Shepherd: Used as a ranch or herding dogs, Australian shepherds make great family dogs. They are loyal, loving, caring, smart, affectionate and easy to train. They are highly active and hate being idle. So if you're planning on getting an Australian shepherd, be ready to provide it with lots of love, affection and attention.

Basset Hound: Although stubborn by nature, basset hounds are very gentle and sweet towards children. They are highly intelligent, energetic, calm around children and are rarely nervous or aggressive. Don't their sad droopy eyes make you want to kiss them all over!

Bichon Frise: In French, Bichon frise means "curly white lap dog". Their white fluffy ball-like fur makes these happy-go-lucky dog, one of our top 10 dog breeds for any home. Bichon frise are faithful, obedient, cheerful, gentle, sensitive, playful and affectionate. They make amazing companion dogs and get along with children and other animals or pets.

Border Collie: A herding dog breed, border collies make perfect family dogs. They have incredible hearing and eyesight. They are smart, energetic and live longer than most dogs of the same size.
Bulldog: They snore, they snort and they are stubborn. Bulldogs are very gentle and make incredibly loyal pets. They are known to adjust well with the kids and other animals or pets. They don't require much exercise (but make sure they don't become obese), friendly, social and sometimes willful.
