Best Dogs For Families With Kids

Some dog breeds that are good with children have high energy or activity levels than others. If dogs don't receive the exercise they physically require, they are more likely to develop behavior problems such as excessive chewing or barking. Select a dog breed that loves children but requires less exercise if your family is not so active. 

Here are some breeds that work well with kids: 

Beagle: Generally a non-biting breed. Good with kids. Approximate size: 40 to 59 lbs. Beagles do shed. If you or a family member suffer from allergies, it is worth looking into other breeds that do well with kids.
