Dog & Children Friendly??
Ok , It is mostly a opinion question , See I ‘ve been reading allot of question here , People saying stuff like ” this breed is not child friendly or ” this one is not dog friendly ??”
Ok , When i was younger (5-7) I was bitten by a Dalmatian , I remember my mom telling me later on that Dalmatian were not ” child friendly ” .. But now that I have a mind of my own ,
My opinion is that it is not THE BREED but either the dog itself and the training it received or that dog was ”attacked ” by a child …Or who knows really , just the dog , I mean Bailey and Alaska is not child friendly AT ALL , they’ve been raised well and they have been introduce to children… I guess they just don’t feel them ??
? What do you think ??? What is YOUR opinion ?
Y!A suggested that I put this Question is Sports- Hockey??? LOL
I agree. There are really no dogs that are completely child friendly. I mean, a dog can’t talk, so it can’t tell you if a child is aggitating it, therefore, attacks. However, I mean.. Common sense, some dogs are more child friendly than others. A family would purchase a lab for their age appropriate (around age four, so you can provide time for your kids and your dog, and balance it with work, training and school) child and family, before purchasing let’s say.. something that’s known to have more of an unpredictable personality, like an Akita. Actually, most breed specialty books will tell you what dogs are appropriate for what age of kids, and how well they do in homes, and families.
See, when dogs evolved from wolves, they were bred for special things, such as herding, hunting, pets, retrieving, pleasure and sport (i.e how mastiffs were used to fight bears in rome, and bull dogs to pull down pulls). Some breeds, like labs and golden retrrievers have been pulled far enough away from their purpose that they do well inside homes (particularly America) and do well for families. (The European retrievers look COMPLETELY different, and closer to their ancestors.)
I guess child friendly dogs would those you would find that have been retired from their purposes, and dogs that were breed for pleasure- like a Pug.
But even in dogs with claimed good “child safe” personalities. There’s always a black sheep.
