THANK YOU, JUST WANT TO MAKE CORRECT CHOICE X X X

Answer 1

I would say Pug! I have 3 pugs. My children now are 6 and 11. When we got our first pug my youngest was 1 1/2 and oldest was 5 1/2. My 1 1/2 year old would try to straighten his tail, ride him like a pony and my 5 1/2 year old would dress him up. The pugs may be small but they are tough! My pug just loved the kids and was happy to play with them. I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Small dogs are not usually the best for very young children because they tend to be more fragile than large and medium sized dogs. Both these breeds do tend to be good with children but of the 2 I would recommend the Pug just because they are a bit sturdier and are less likely to be injured in the kids play a bit rough.

Answer 3

The pug, every bichon I've ever met has been a nasty snappy little monster, certainly not worth putting around children.

Labradors and retrievers are good family dogs also.

Answer 4

weve had both- both were gentle, but the bichon was more high strung. All of our pugs seem to be less hyper and yippy than a lot of small dog breeds

Answer 5

It doesnt matter about breed its how you bring the dog up. My brother and sister-in-law have a boxer with 3 children under the age of 6 and the dog lets them crawl all over her. The kids adore the dog and the dog is amazingly gentle with them.
I also know boxers that are used to guard scrap yards that i wouldnt let my nephew/nieces near.
Bring the dog up well and it will behave well

Answer 6

A dog handling psychology course is a good thing to do.You must understand the behavioural problems of the animal.Any dog can assume guardianship duties over the children or become over protective.It is how you understand and train them that counts,this goes for the children as well ,of course.Either of these two breeds will be ok ,if handled correctly.

Answer 7

Behaviour and aggression vary in individual dogs in any breed. It is impossible to answer this question.

Best to look at the Sire and Dame of any prospective dog (if buying a puppy that is) otherwise it is best to take the children with you and see how the dog behaves around them.

Answer 8

I think the pug, but dont these dog's have breathing problems as they get older, maybe do a bit of research.

Answer 9

In any given situation, focus on what you do want your dog to do instead of on whatever he’s doing wrong. Learn how to train your dog https://tr.im/SIjnC

For example, suppose that on many evenings, your young dog gets busy looking for trouble just as you’re digesting your dinner. He grabs a boot from the mat by the front door and gallops through the house with it. You yell at him and take it away. He grabs its mate. You yell and take it away. He heads for the kitchen and starts checking out the counters in case something tasty’s been left behind. You chase him away. And on and on, until you’ve lost your temper and torn out clumps of hair you can ill afford to lose.

Answer 10

I'd say the pug.
