My Favorite 5 Best Family Dogs
BESTS User Created List

Tags: Dogs, Kids, Family, Friendly, Pets, Tame

I made this list to let new parents know the best dog for small children. These are animals that are not agressive natured and that I myself have had experience with. I am listing good pets to have around the house with small (under 3) children.

Cocker Spaniel- This dog is very gentle with small children and has a high tolerance in most cases, for a child's enthusiasm. Very laid back animal with a mild nature.

Beagle- My #1 pick for children. These dogs are very easy going and are loyal and protective. My 1 yr. old nephew once bit my dad's on the nose and he just waited until the baby let go then walked off for a few minutes. He came back and laid down beside of the child and let him love on him after just a short time! I have never heard of one harming anyone.

Miniture Collie- This animal is better in a miniture version for indoors. These are another breed that are extremly loving and gentle natured. But thier hair may be an issue. But if kept groomed well are definately a favorite!

Duchound- This animal locks on a favorite person. Is very loving and protective. However, the only draw back I have noticed is that for the first 6 months or so they can get a little hyper. They need a lot of play time but are very tolerent of children.

Lab / Retriever- These make excellent outdoor pets with plenty of supervision. The only thing that parents need to worry about is the animal accidentally knocking over new walkers. Of course, it would only be accidental. These animals have a great reputation for being the next best thing to a baby sitter. Ideal for children over 2 or 3.
