Families with children should think carefully when choosing their four-legged friend to join their family. Whether the new member of the family can get along with the children or not is an important factor in racial selection. It all depends on the activity level of your home, family energy and living situation. But in general, a dog with a kind and friendly disposition, trainable nature and ability to keep up with your family should be the first choice.
It should not be forgotten that the character, expectations and needs of the new four-legged member of the family may differ. It should not be ignored that children can go to extremes while showing their love. Some dog breeds can become aggressive with this extreme affection, feeling stressed and endangered.
Three dog breeds that get along best with children
Golden Retriever
When it comes to dogs that get along well with children, the first thing that comes to mind is Golden Retrievers. Intelligent, sociable, patient and self-confident Golden Retrievers love to play all day with their endless energy. These dogs, who grasp the commands taught to them very quickly, love to make their owners happy. They take a protective approach towards children when they feel any threat.
English Bulldog
These little friends, who attract attention with their loving attitude towards children, are incredibly strong. Unfortunately, these friends who like to spend the whole day resting are not energetic enough. For active kids who can’t sit still all day, the Bulldog will present some difficulty. Extremely loyal and protective, English Bulldogs adapt perfectly to apartment life.
Poodle
The intelligence, cheerfulness and adventurousness of the Poodle breed are among their dominant traits as well as their cuteness. They may be distant with strangers, but they get along quickly and very well with children. Known as a very intelligent and gentle breed, Poodles are very proud and impress themselves with their loyalty. It is quite difficult to anger them or to witness that they are bored.
