Top 10 Dog Breeds by Katelyn Pongratz

Are you thinking about getting a dog? One thing to keep in mind is that not all dogs are good with kids. Some dogs might be too aggressive for young kids. Here's a list of the best dogs for kids.

Coming in the 10th spot is the Bulldog.

They have gotten a name for being aggressive and mean and not good for families, but that's not true. One of the many advantages of of Bulldogs is that they don't care about where they live.They don’t care if they live on a farm or a small apartment. A bulldog will put up with anything your kids might throw at them. Even though people say bulldogs are not family friendly they are a great family pet.

In the 9th spot is the Beagle. 

They need some brushing, so if your kids want to prove they can work it’s a great thing to do. This energy filled ball of love will never let a game of tag go to waste. They love to have a good petting. They are small enough where they will just plop down next to your child for a good petting and some attention.

The 8th spot is saved for the Bull Terrier. 

This friend has high pain tolerance. So if your kids don’t know how to treat a dog don’t worry. The Bull Terrier will be fine with anything they throw at him. Plus the Bull Terrier is looking for a good friend to spend cold days with.

The Collie is the proud dog in 7th place. 

The collie is known for being gentle from the movie “Lassie,” and it’s true. These lovable dogs are rarely aggressive and are easy to train. The collie loves nothing better than to run around and please their owners.

Here comes the Newfoundland in 6th place. 

This gentle giant wants to just plop his head in your lap and take a good nap. Patient and adores kids, this giant loves to watch after your kids. Don’t be fooled by his size. He’s a gentle giant.

5th place: Vizsla incoming!

Playful with a loving heart. That's the vizsla. They never get tired of being a perfect companion. They're a gentle, energetic dog that just needs love.

In 4th place is the Irish Setter.

Easy to train and smart. Irish Setters can make every family complete. They need affection and are easy to train. So kids can help train them.

Poodles, in the 3rd spot, are known for being prissy, but not all of them are. 

Lots of poodles love to walk through the woods on a leisure walk. They love to be in the middle of everything you do.

In the 2nd spot, Chocolate, Yellow, and Black Labs come in lots of colors and lots of personalities. That's why there's a lab for everyone and every family. They are smart and gentle. That is why they are the most common type of service dog.

Now the beautiful,wonderful, golden fluff, the Golden Retriever is the best dog for kids and families. Gentle but energetic they love to take naps and be under the dinner table at your every meal.

I only named a couple, but there are lots of dogs and there is the perfect one for you. So if you want to get a dog, do your research. Find out what dog fits you and your family's personality and lifestyle best.
