Whats a good toy breed dog for kids?
Miss Amy
I have two girls, one is 5yrs old & one is 5 months old. I'm looking to get a dog for them for Christmas this year but I'm unsure about what breed. I need a dog thats not very fragile (no chiwawas or yorkis) and not aggressive. I know there are tons of breeds but I dont have any resources of picking a dog.
Answer
I have a Havanese, which are excellent with young kids. He truly is! He's the best dog our family has ever had, and plays tirelessly with kids.... he's never bitten anyone in his life, greets strangers merrily and puts up with all kinds of rough housing.
We got him when our youngest was less than a year old, our middle child was four and our oldest seven. We were very very protective and careful with him with the kids when he was a tiny puppy, and taught the kids to be gentle with him. He quickly bonded with our one year old and the two are best friends. He rarely leaves his side! (he's 3 now)
Havaneses don't shed, are hypo-allergenic, are great with strangers, are smart as can be and are very long lived. The breeder we used gave us a large one, as she said they are just better with kids. They travel well and are small enough to take in the plane cabin with you. The breed is a toy breed normally weighing 7-13 pounds, but the large ones like ours go 18-20 pounds, which is about as small as you'd want to go with young kids.
Havanese are members of the Bichon family, but more sturdy and less aggressive than some of their cousins. They are insane athletes and have been used in the past as circus dogs. Ours jumps into our arms and leaps right onto our kitchen counters!
If you have very young children, I would highly suggest against an adoption as you can't be sure what kind of temperment you'll be getting. When the kids are older, sure, save a life, but while they are so young, it's extremely important to be sure the dog's inborn temperment is as gentle as possible. My sister adopted the sweetest mutt puppy who turned very nasty later (her other two dogs are fine, so no, it isn't her), you just don't want to risk that.
BTW, I found out about the breed using the animal.discovery.com breed search engine mentioned above!
