Children often ask their parents for a pet – usually a cat or a dog.
If you decide to please your child by giving him a puppy, you should approach the choice of a new family member with all responsibility in order to acquire not only a friend, but also a nanny for the child.
Labrador
Representatives of this breed are kind, balanced and friendly. They are easy to train. It is also easy to care for their smooth coat. Labradors have not been observed to be aggressive towards family members, and they are not prone to barking.
If you choose such a pet, keep in mind that you will have to walk with it for a long time: Labradors love not only to run, but also to swim, and they will not refuse to chew a toy.
Golden Retriever
Another friendly dog who enjoys spending time with people and is patient with the antics of children. He loves to play and is moderately curious.
Since golden retrievers are energetic dogs, you will have to walk them for a long time. Another feature is the pet's fur, which requires regular brushing.
Bichon Frize (lap dog)
It seems that lap dogs adore all members of their family without exception. Another advantage is that the Bichon Frise's fur is hypoallergenic, and with proper care the dog practically does not shed.
She does not need long walks and exercise, but because of her attachment to people, representatives of this breed are not recommended to be left alone for long periods of time.
English Bulldog
A family that prefers a quiet lifestyle will find a suitable companion in the English Bulldog. He does not like long walks outside and does not react well to hot weather, but at home he will gladly play with a child.
English bulldogs are loyal and strive to be close to their owner. At the same time, they are not in a hurry to follow commands and quickly learn the skill of manipulating all family members, so bulldogs need to be trained from childhood.
