    Child Friendly Dogs

    Pet dogs and people have always shared an unique bond and when there is a young child in the household, this bond takes on a new meaning.

    It is seen in several conditions how a pet dog becomes more caring and protective about the little one or the child than the family members.

    You can choose very good family dogs based on three primary factors:

    Temperament - This is the dog's personality. You really should be looking for an agreeable temperament. For instance, a calmer dog has the ability to create strong bonds and be a fantastic companion for your kids.

    Size - Size should be evaluated in regard to temperament and energy level. Some big dogs tend to be accommodating, while some small dogs can be excitable.

    Energy level - This is a matter of preference for your family. Be realistic about the life-style you can give to a pet dog that needs more exercise routine than average. If you can't meet a dog's needs, his excess energy can lead to behavior challenges.
