Children, Dogs and All of Us …

Gets a dog for the children out of every five of those who gets it. And, of course, rightly so, because the dog – this is a friend and nurse, and the uncle and his younger brother, and sometimes stern headmaster. And it would seem, no problems, but 18% of dog owners admit that their dogs growl and sometimes bite the younger family members. Therefore, when the adults want to grow in the garden of one and the children, and dogs, they must find the answers to the questions: What four-legged breed should start in such a case, and when?
I would not want to impose their views, especially since it is based on experience rather limited – lots of dogs, and lives alone. And among my friends are the family where English Cocker keeps all in awe and humility, and the family in which the Moscow guard – well, just a mother, a nurse on four legs. And advise here! So the experience of one person may be enough. But there is a social experience – the experience of each of us, neatly folded. Use it is very tempting.
It is believed that the dog is better start when your child is more than a year, provided that, if you both are going to educate themselves. If you want a dog involved in a child, wait until he turns fourteen. There are exceptions, but rely on them should not be. When the dog and children is particularly important Dog Training experience of adults, and if the dog previously you did not have, try to fill at least theoretically the problem of knowledge. Oh, and as it may seem strange, but my grandmother and grandfather – bad aides in growing dogs: they pamper them like grandchildren.
As for the choice of breed, then I suggest to everyone to take advantage of the most social experience and not to fill shishey dog on the rocks, which have already stumbled on the other. To do this, I asked for 230 with or without, but living next to the dogs Muscovites to answer two questions: “The most-the most the breed for a family with a child?” and “most-the most the breed for the education of a teenager?”. Of course, the most frequently mentioned the most common species, known to most respondents.
According to the survey found that of the 27 breeds that are recommended for bringing up a teenager in the top ten included the German and East European Shepherd, Airedale, Collie, Giant Schnauzer, Boxer, Schnauzer, Doberman, Flushing, and mongrel dogs. Less commonly recommended Dalmatian, Rottweiler, Newfoundland, poodles, dachshunds, and setters. Of those who offered to families with children, adolescents are not considered suitable Afghan Hound, Bernese Shepherd, Bloodhound, Kerry Blue Terrier, Pekingese, Scottish Terrier, French Bulldog lap dog, Irish wolfhound, a Chihuahua, white terrier, bull terrier, pug , miniature schnauzer, chow-chow, Moscow watchdog, bobtail, and St. Bernard.
I am glad that public opinion was demanding the choice of breed for teenagers. In fact, if an adult will lead the wrong dog, it can be dangerous, most likely, only for members of his family, and if not that the dog will bring out a teenager, it can hurt many people. And if public opinion offers a choice of 27 teenagers “food”, for the content in a family with a child allows 42 species, believing that there are no bad dogs.
With the proper education of an adult, a dog of almost any breed can get along very well in a family with a child. But anyway, the top ten breeds in this case are (in descending order of urgency guidelines) collie, St. Bernard, Newfoundland, spaniels, German shepherd, poodles, Schnauzers, Giant Schnauzer, Boxer and Airedale. Less often, but too often, it is advised bobtail, Labrador dog, dachshund, Moscow watchdog, Chows, Miniature Schnauzer, Rottweiler, Pug, Bull Terrier, and setters. Not excluded the mixing of children with sheltie, black terrier, Chihuahua, Central Asian Shepherd, Irish wolfhound, a mongrel, Alsatian, lapdogs, Bassett, French Bulldog, Whippets, Scottish terrier, Pekingese, Irish Terrier, Doberman, Bloodhound, Shepherd Berne and Afghan greyhound.
However, were never mentioned in the answers to both questions is the English Bulldog, Greyhound, Miniature Pinscher, Greyhound, Mastiff, and bullets, Russian Hound, Toy Terrier, and Japanese Chin. And most “childish” breeds of dogs were collies, German shepherd, Airedale and East European Shepherd, more often mentioned in the responses to both questions.
