Kids can really benefit from getting dogs. A puppy can teach children the value of responsibility. A dog will also provide a child companionship, protection and loyalty.

However, some dogs are not really suited to young kids. Children can be rowdy and playful at times, and some breeds do not stand up well for this kind of activity.

In getting a puppy for your child, It is best to get those breeds that are naturally drawn to children. Here are Puppy Help Line’s recommendations:

1. Labrador Retreiver- This is my first choice for a kid’s dog. Labradors adore children. They’re very mellow, and are always up for running, jumping and playing. A labrador can lie still for hours, watching over children. They’re very loyal too.

2.Fox Terriers- Fox terrieirs are also ideal for children. They are mid sized, and can work well in smaller spaces. The Fox Terrier is loyal and smart and can amuse kids to hours on end, It is a tame breed and respond well to commands. They are also very affectionate and playful.

3.Saint Bernard- Saint Bernards have gained admiration for being extremely gentle, friendly and very tolerant of little kids. They are loyal and always want to please their masters. They’re very intelligent and training them isn;t difficult. They also make for excellent watchdogs
