When searching for the perfect dog for your family, you’ll want to make sure that the dog you choose is going to be a kid-friendly addition to your household. There are many breeds that are simply too hyper or aggressive to cohabitate with young children. However, there are also plenty of good-natured dogs out there that you can count on to remain playful, as well as gentle even with the rowdiest of kids. Listed below are the top five safest, most kid-friendly dogs around.
1. Golden Retrievers. These dogs are one of the most popular breeds in the United States and for good reason. They are known for their even temperament and playful attitude. They are incredibly affectionate and adore children. They are also very adaptable. Whether you live in the country or the city, they’ll be happy as long as they get plenty of exercise.
2. Yorkshire Terriers. These dogs offer a great deal of personality in an incredibly small package. They are known for their tolerance for children and enjoy a little roughhousing here and there. They are also easy to take care of, even as they age. They are perfect indoor dogs.
3. Beagles. These dogs will be a playful, active addition to your home. They are known for their upbeat personalities and enjoy running around and wrestling with children. As long as you have plenty of space, a beagle will be a great companion for you and your kids.
4. Malteses. These dogs are known for their affectionate and loyal behaviors. They are gentle lap dogs and they love to play with children. Because of their small size, they’ll be safe around your kids and they don’t need a lot of space.

You’ll have to purchase food, pay for vet bills and search for comfortable dog beds. So be sure to choose a dog that will not only be a great fit for your kids, but for your lifestyle as well. Consider the individual needs and requirements of each breed before making your final decision. And don’t forget that it’s important to teach your children how to properly play with your new dog. This way you will be able to not only protect your children from physical harm, but also your new dog.
