Beagles, definitely. My neighbor has several small children, and they love to play with my dog as much as she loves to play with them.

these are what i would recomend.1.) foxhound- lovable, smart, and pretty to. VERY easy going, my puppy falls asleep with the kids i babysit.2.) golden retriever- quiet, playful, loyal, very good for kidshere is what others say:Child friendly dogs - and dogs to avoid when you have smaller childrenWhen you decide to get a dog and have children in your family remember that the age of the children is an important factor. Certain breeds are believed to mix better with children than others but keep in mind that the personality of the dog, and not necessarily the breed is the most important factor. The dog’s personality should match your child’s personality. For a quiet, calm child choose a rather quiet dog and not necessarily a Terrier that needs lots of playtime and exercise. Listen to the shelter staff, veterinarian or the breeder’s advice when discussing a specific animal. Inform them, or better bring your child/children with you so a professional can evaluate the situation.Size: small size does not mean that the dog will be friendly to your child. Smaller dogs are easier intimidated than larger animals, they can get hurt easier and their only weapon of defense is their teeth. Sometimes larger dogs are gentler than toy dogs.Training: Every dog should be trained. If there are children in the household, proper training is absolutely required. If you don’t have the time/patience/knowledge, have your animal trained by a professional.Never leave a dog alone with a baby or a toddler. Monitor the interaction between your children and your dog carefully. Sometimes animals get too excited when playing with children. Children are often unaware of their strength and can hurt the animal. Stepping on the animal’s paws, tumble over it, etc. can make the most gentle animal turn angry and probably bite.Puppies are sweet and adorable but please do consider that a sweet puppy might not turn into the dog you wish for. Try to choose an adult dog where you can already watch the kind of personality the animal has.The following breeds are normally recommended for a household with children. Do keep in mind though that dogs have personalities, and some need more exercise than others. Some might be time consuming due to special grooming needs, etc. Again, before you decide, talk to a professional. And please, adopt, don’t buy from pet shops! Golden Retriever, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, West Highland Terrier, Irish Setter, Schnauzer, Labrador Retriever, Poodle, Dachshund, Bichon Frise, Airedale, Basset, Beagle, Shih Tzu, Boxer, Cairn Terrier, Collie, Boston Terrier, Newfoundland, Pomeranian, Pug, Whippet.Not recommended with small children: Affenpinscher, Chihuahua, Pekingese, Basenji, Dalmatian, Rottweiler, German and Australian Shepherds, Dobermans, Jack Russel Terriers, Lhasa Apso, Afghan, Akita, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Chow Chow, Borzoi, Puli, ShiTzu, Yorkshire Terrier, Barsoi, Basenji, Beagle, Bloodhound, Siberian Husky, Afghan, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Setters, Samoyed, Weimaraner, Greyhound, Saluki, Irish Wolfhound, Pitbulls.

Any dog can be patient with children. I have a lab mix, and another mix we're not quite sure what it is. When they were puppies, we trained both the dogs and the kids what the pack dynamics were going to be--and kids are above dogs. I have never had a problem with my dogs and my kids, and we got our first, 80 lb "puppy" when they were 1 and 3.

i would steer clear of most spaniels........i have got an english springer who has this thing called rage syndrome not common in springers but a few of them get it and can be very unpredictable i know a few who have had dogs with it and had them put to sleep. it causes them to go into a kind of trance. the do bite and can often cause a bit of damage!! it is more common in cocker spaniels though so deffinately not them!!!german shepherds are great dogs but must be bought from a good breeder the blood hound is the only recognised breed in the world to have no record of biting anything bichoun-frise are great little family dogs it does also depend on how old the children are in the family i wouldnt have a dog with children under about 7/8 unless i had the dog before the kids. they are equally unpredictable so good luck
