It's well-known that labrador retrievers and golden retrievers are great family dogs, but there are many other overlooked breeds that are just as good with kids. In general, medium-sized and large dogs are better with children, even though their size can seem intimidating or dangerous. In fact, it's small dogs that are typically more aggressive - everyone knows at least one Chihuahua who barks nonstop to compensate for its bite-sized appearance!
Here are four of the best dog breeds to get if your child is begging for a canine companion, according to PetMD and iHeartDogs.
Bulldog
Docile, lazy, friendly and loyal, bulldogs are great if you have a very young child. They won't get in your way with barking and bouncing, but they're cuddly and loving so you'll feel safe with these pups around your child.
