A four-legged friend is often brought in so that the child has a companion. Dogs teach kids responsibility, empathy, and the ability to love animals. However, year after year, animal rights activists ask: stop giving puppies to children for the holidays, if you are not sure that the family is ready to keep a pet.
According to statistics, after the New Year, dozens of such "live presents" are thrown out on the street.
German Shepherd
If the purchase of a dog is not a spontaneous decision, but a balanced and deliberate one, it is worth choosing a breed that is inclined to communicate with children. Dog experts distinguish several such breeds.
Boxer
Many people mistakenly believe that this is a fighting breed suitable for protection. But boxers are wonderful touching companions, they have a very stable psyche and are incredibly affectionate with their owners. Of course, they also need training, but with proper training, they become great friends, ready to accompany the family on any adventure.
Cane Corso
Huge gray or black dogs look threatening, but behind this appearance hides loyalty, kindness and desire to please the owner in everything. Cane Corso are ready to give their lives for the family, they are easy to train, love walks and pranks.
All these pets need is long and active games: try to be with them more often in the forest or park, arranging games with a ball or stick.
Airedale Terrier
Many people remember this breed from the movie "The Adventures of Elektronik", in life, the Erdel Terriers also have a sharp mind. They pick up new commands on the fly, love games and long walks. These pets will be a great companion for those who love hiking and adventures. They tolerate the road easily, and at home they try not to leave their owners for a second.
Labrador and retriever
If you choose a dog for your baby, there is no better nanny than Labradors. They are able to calm children, show miracles of patience when playing with them, go to sleep next to the little owner.
Labradors are real fidgets, so they need a good physical activity. In addition, they need training and understanding that it is impossible to fool around at home, otherwise the dog will perceive a favorite carpet, soap, and a sleeping cat as toys.
