3 BEST DOG BREEDS FOR KIDS
Adopting a pet is a great choice for your kids especially when you’ve made your mind for choosing a dog. A dog, “man’s best friend” not only stands as your kid’s companion but also aids them to learn by themselves the meaning of nurture, love, and loyalty from a young age.
But before you jump into a pet adoption center and randomly select your fluffy buddy, here are some things you should keep in your mind :
1. Family Environment:
With a cute fluff, comes a ton of responsibilities. Are all your family members too busy with the workload to take your dog on a walk? Or does your family have a fit-of-jokes on the dining table in which your dog can accompany?
2. Dog Size :
Although small dogs are extremely cute and anxious, they tend to feel vulnerable. Thus they prefer to stay with adults who can protect them. On the other hand, big dogs are mostly friendly and end to get along with everyone very easily.
3. Grooming :
It takes quite a handsome lump to keep up with the proper maintenance of your beloved dog. Regular baths, high-quality dog foods, timely vet check-ups, walks, exercises, and TRAINING your dog are some necessities.
Keeping the above points in mind, these are the 3 Best Dog breeds to adopt for your child ~
1. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Plus, because of their non-problematic little size, they can be a good choice for an apartment lifestyle. However, make sure they get daily walks and exercise! You may also find them barking while someone rings the doorbell but they are not good guard dogs. They can be trained easily which back the many blur ribbons and prizes carried by them! Spaniel at heart, you might often find them chasing squirrels and birds. They can be a great companion to toddlers.
2. Rough Collie :
Rough Collie (commonly known as Lassie) is a very active, agile, and playful herd dog. They are great with children and love to play with them. They are not a one-person dog and are equally protective of every member of the family. Collie puppies are not pre-trained but with proper care, they can grow up to even win medals! They are not really suitable for the apartment lifestyle if there’s a ‘No loud noise/barking’ warning from the owner or neighbors. However, after a good long walk, they remain calm. Unlike many big dogs, they do not have a destructive nature while playing around the house which also makes a plus point why they bond with children so well.
3. Labrador Retriever :
Labradors are a very common playful and friendly breed. They can be trained for even specific works like police training, fire alarm training, etc. They are often used as assistant dogs for the disabled. Because of their sociable and friendly nature, they can be a great choice for kids. However, if you’re adopting a grown-up lab, make sure there’s ample space in the room so that while running they don’t push their baby or break things.
