However, choosing a new family member to be your kid\u2019s companion is still a big decision, which should not be taken lightly. We&#8217;re here to help you with a list of <strong>6 of the best dog breeds for kids!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aspects like each dog breed\u2019s usual size (small dog breeds are prone to barking more, while larger-sized dogs may be calmer), their temperament, intelligence and patience towards your son or daughter should be considered, and will help you make the right choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it&#8217;s important to keep in mind that a healthy and safe children-dog relationship not only depends on the dog&#8217;s character and features but also on how kids interact with their 4-legged best friends. They should be taught how to do so, and setting boundaries right from the beginning is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Difficult task, huh? We\u2019ll give you a hand (or shall we say, a paw!). Let&#8217;s start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Irish Setter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/maven.pet\/all-about-pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dog_breeds_for_kids_irish_setter.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1712\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Playfulness:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2606 | Training needed:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2606 | Patience:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2606<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Irish Setter\u2019s red coat will love some petting from your child! They will need plenty of training and exercise, but their affectionate temperament will be perfect to partner with your kid. Just be sure they&#8217;re not alone for long: this breed loves to be surrounded by people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Poodle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/maven.pet\/all-about-pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dog_breeds_for_kids_poodle.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1713\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Playfulness:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2606 | Training needed:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2606\u2606 | Patience:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat about kids prone to severe allergic reactions?\u201d &#8211; you may be asking. Poodles don\u2019t shed too much, even though they\u2019re recognized by their multiple haircuts. Do you know how to groom a dog? It&#8217;ll be a good opportunity to learn some new skills! There are many different kinds of Poodles: the medium-sized ones are usually obedient, intelligent and adventurous; the smaller ones are a bit more low-maintenance due to their tiny size, but can be very energetic and grab everyone&#8217;s attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Newfoundland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/maven.pet\/all-about-pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dog_breeds_for_kids_newfoundland.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1714\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Playfulness:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2606\u2606 | Training needed:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2606\u2606\u2606 | Patience:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2606\u2606<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember when we mentioned that the big dog breeds may sometimes be the most lovely ones? The Newfoundland might be the best example. \u201cNature\u2019s Babysitter\u201d, as they\u2019re called, the Newfoundland is one of the most intelligent dog breeds in the world and it&#8217;ll melt your children&#8217;s heart, but don&#8217;t overlook their protective instincts! Plus, they\u2019re great swimmers and are likely to take a dive in your pool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Beagle \ud83e\udd49<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/maven.pet\/all-about-pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dog_breeds_for_kids_beagle.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1715\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Playfulness:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50&nbsp;| Training needed:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2606 | Patience:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2606<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the best dog breeds for kids, the bronze medal goes to\u2026 the Beagle! This small dog dog breed is very friendly to kids, but they really need proper training right from the beginning, as they&#8217;re one of the most stubborn dogs around. They\u2019re cute, lovely, protective and really appreciate outdoor walks. Other special cares? Keep their diet under control to avoid obesity and, above all, check their ears regularly, as they\u2019re prone to infect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Golden Retriever \ud83e\udd48<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/maven.pet\/all-about-pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dog_breeds_for_kids_golden.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1716\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Playfulness:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50&nbsp;| Training needed:&nbsp;\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606 | Patience:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly to Labradors, Golden Retrievers are also heart melters who will distribute affection to everyone around them. So energetic that they\u2019ll keep your child occupied, but gentle enough not to destroy your house in the process &#8211; and so loyal they\u2019ll obey you without question. What more can you ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Labrador \ud83e\udd47<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/maven.pet\/all-about-pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dog_breeds_for_kids_labrador.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1717\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Playfulness:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50&nbsp;| Training needed:&nbsp;\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606\u2606 | Patience:&nbsp;\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it possible to make a list of friendly dogs without including the Labrador? The most popular dog breed is very reliable, loyal, smart and, for that reason, easily trainable, even when it comes to swimming. Their cuteness, playful spirit and ability to conquer hearts make the Labrador a dog who\u2019s capable of getting along with adults, kids and even other dogs or\u2026 cats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;re usually extremely energetic &#8211; some can be very clumsy, and retain a puppy-like temperament into adulthood. Also, Labradors are known to have infinite patience, but look out &#8211; every dog has their limit and supervision is important even for the loveliest of dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black, yellow or chocolate &#8211; any of them would be a great choice to partner with your child. That\u2019s why the Labrador is number one on our top of 6 of the best dog breeds for kids!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a child and a dog at home?
