Who are the best dogs for kids? It all depends on the level of family activity, family energy and living conditions. But, in general, the best solution are dogs that have a gentle demeanor, friendly attitude and adapt to a family environment. Dog characteristics vary depending on the breed, but four important factors need to be considered.
1 - Size: Small dogs can be more fragile, quieter and more suitable for caring children. Larger dogs are more suitable for families with several members, but require regular walks and space to play. Make sure the conditions of the house fit the size of the dog.
2 - Energy: Some dogs like to run and play, others prefer to lie on the couch and pet.
3 - Temperament: Dogs have different personalities and you should choose a puppy that fits the cheerful nature of your family or its serious attitude.
4 - Care: Have you thought about cleaning? Who will take the dog for a walk? What about the budget to meet the needs, from vaccines to accessories?
