Default What is the best breed of dog for a child of 2-3 years?

I would like one that isn't aggressive but also not too high maintenance. I was thinking of a yellow lab or English Bulldog. I'm afraid the Bulldog is too lazy for a toddler. I don't know much about breeds so any help is appreciated.

Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie). Great with kids and will watch over the child. Labs may be too big for child. Lab puppie may inadvertantly hurt the small one.

If your going for a large dog, a border collie, or lab is good. if you want a smaller dog, go for a poodle or in my opinion the cavalier's are the best with kids. They are even tempered, affectionate and fun to have around.

try a stuffed animal... buy a dog later ask a pet shop u should not decide to buy a animal for a young person many do and return it because of aggression or allergies or cant commit to having a dog wait until the child is older like five to eight but ask a pet shop sales person

Consider adopting a greyhound from your local rescue operation. They are VERY docile and good with children and other pets. They are also very trainable and live well in the house - and a good size for your small child. The only thing is they do NEED to live in the house, especially in colder months. On the plus side, their fur is extremely short, they don't shed much and they are very easy to bathe.

Most of your hound and retriver breeds are good dogs.In all honesty,I'm a bit bias. If you've got the room,I'd say get a great dane. Example: We were at the local bark park (off leash dog park) and two little two year old girls got into a hair pulling,screeching match.The dogs in the park were 2 shepherds,my great dane,a lab,a chihuahua,a few mixed breeds and a pair of pit bulls.My dog's ears jumped up at the girls screaming,he turned from playing and walked right over to these two girls that he had -never in his life met-. He sniffed them,realized they were okay,and headed over to their mothers. He promptly sat down,looked back at the girls,looked at the mothers and walked away again.My great dane will be two in May. He's not trained for things like that... yet he does them anyway because it's his nature to do as such.However,I would suggest you adopt a full grown dane from a rescue just so you don't get the 'surprise' of how big they get. =) And so you don't have to go through puppyhood when you're going through toddlerhood,too.
