For the hyperactive familyPit Bull
Pit bulls are loving, affectionate, loyal and like your ADHD tween, have
a boatload of energy. Your kid and dog can wrestle and run for hours together.
This breed has an innate ability to detect when aggression is necessary and when
everything is okay.
For the outdoorsy familyLabrador
RetrieverDoes your family get kicks from hiking, camping, and swimming
in lakes? A lab will be able to keep up with the sportiest of families.
Intelligent, loyal, lovable, and trainable, this breed loves to splash in water
and play outside. Get this pooch his own Nalgene bottle and hit the trails.
For the big familyBearded
Collie Are you rivaling Brangeilna with the number of kids in your
house? Consider a bearded collie. This breed loves being around lots of people
and its herding instincts will keep everyone in the same room. With a bouncy
demeanor and constant tail wagging, the Bearded Collie will win the hearts of
your entire brood. Best for families with a big yard.
The apartment-dwelling familyWestland TerrierIf you’ve told your child time and time
again, We have no room in our home for a dog! you could be wrong. The
wee Westland Terrier needs no yard and very little space to be happy as can be.
Your youngsters will be delighted by the westie’s love of play. Just make sure
this dog gets a short walk every day.
For the couch potato familyMiniature
poodleFace it. You don’t want to be seen at a dog park. And your kids
are more into watching Star Wars over and over again than running
around the yard. Poodles like walks now and then, but will not demand a lot of
exercise. They simply like companionship and want to be included in all family
activities, like watching Oprah or maybe a trip to your kid’s favorite
cupcake stand.
