nbsp   Is so-and-so breed good with children?
All breeds are good with children, but the real question you should be asking here is: “Are my children good with this breed?” Common sense tells us that it’s probably not the best idea to mix small toddlers and very large breed dogs such as Great Danes. Even if the dog never bites, the sheer size and force of a ‘playful hug’ could topple over and hurt your toddler. With small children and small toy breeds however, the scenario is reversed. Your child is now the one capable of hurting your puppy. Bear in mind there are always exceptions to these rules so, be sure to weigh the pros and cons carefully. Another important part of the puppy/child relationship depends largely on what you believe your children can handle. If you consider your child to be a little ‘rough’ when they play, a 25 pound Cocker Spaniel is a much better choice than a 6 pound Yorkshire Terrier. The Cocker has a bigger bone structure and is less likely to experience broken bones should it be dropped or stepped on durin
