By Garrett McMahan


When you decide on getting a dog for home, it can be big since owning a dog can be a very good thing to do, and it is also right that you choose the right kind of dog for the family. If you have small children at home, you may want to choose a dog breed ideal for families. The following are some of the breeds you can consider having.

A dog breed that has high marks as family dogs is the Labrador Retriever. They do not only love children but are also protective of little kids, since they are the gentle giants that are sweet and playful. They are the trainable dogs such that you will see this dog breed used as service dogs, and they are the intelligent dogs easy to train. This dog is the heavy type which requires regular grooming to keep the coat in shape, and they usually weigh from 60 to 75 pounds.

Golden Retrievers are another breed quite suitable for families with children. This playful, gentle breed is highly patient with young children. It is important to keep its silky coat well-groomed and it also is important to note that in general, larger dogs such as the Lab and the Golden tend to only live for about 10 to 12 years.

A nice dog breed ideal as choice for families and also gentle and loving is the adorable bulldog. This dog breed is quite energetic when still puppies but not with high energy when already adults and this dog weighs around 50 pounds. For families with smaller yards, this can be the good choice. This dog breed is prone to breathing problems and also hip dysplasia and they live for about 8 to 12 years. This dog overheats easily, thus it is important that the dog stays cool always during warm weather. You can also consider buying a beagle, especially if you want a dog like Snoopy. It can be a good option for families, this amiable beagle. They are even tempered and also good with children, and they have also long lives, about 12 to 15 years.

Other breeds can also be ideal for families, like the Bichon Frise and also Bull Terriers and poodles are also good choices. Mutts are also breeds worth considering. A gentle mutt can be very sweet and also a good choice because mutts have longer lives and also has fewer health problems compared to the pure breed dogs. Certain breeds can be better compared to the others, but it is also the individual dog that has to be considered, whether this is a good match suitable for you and the children.
