What Dog Breeds Are Good For Children

But before we get to the download link I'd like to mention a great Squidoo lense I discovered earlier today titled: "Dog breeds good for children".

Companion dog or family dog usually describes a dog that does not work, providing only companionship as a pet, rather than usefulness by doing specific tasks, these dogs for the majority are what most people condider suitable for children. Many of the toy dog breeds are used only for the pleasure of their company, not as workers, but any dog can be a companion dog, and many working types such as retrievers are enjoyed primarily for their friendly nature as a family pet.

When asked "What are the best dog breeds when you have children", I usually recommend only the smaller dogs like my Maltese Shitsu cross dogs, sometimes referred to as "Toy Dogs", or the English Cocker Spaniel, and the Labrador Retrievers.

It seems safest to define toy dogs as being determined by the size of the dogs, and leave discussion of function and temperament to the various breed clubs. However, this can also be problematic, as there is no firm agreement on what height or weight makes a dog a toy, and the upper height limit of some toy dog breeds is over 12 inches at the withers, which places these dogs within the height range of dogs in some other groups as well.

The use of the word "toy" to describe small dogs that belong to a toy breed is redundant and also incorrect, suggesting that the breed comes in different sizes—there is no such thing, for example, as a "toy Chihuahua"; all Chihuahuas are toy dogs. (However, some breeds do come in different sizes, such as Poodles, which come in standard, miniature, and toy varieties).

As such I always have considered these miniature, and toy varieties the most suitable for children.

However reading the Squidoo lense, "Dog breeds good for children" really opened my eyes. I did not realize just how many of the larger dogs were a good match when you are looking for dog breeds good for children.

Dog breeds like the Coonhound, Newfoundland, Boston Terriers, Australian Shepherd and many more are detailed on the site.
