If you're a parent, it's likely that your kids have requested a dog at some point. While this may seem intimidating in certain aspects, there are specific breeds that are ideal for families.
Amir Anwary, also known as @amirthevet on , recently shared his expert opinion on which breeds make excellent additions to a family household. He highlighted some breeds as being particularly suitable due to their adaptability, exceptional temperaments and general patience.
However, he cautioned against rushing into purchasing a dog, emphasising the importance of assessing each dog individually. He explained that it's crucial to consider whether a particular dog is right for you, as every animal is unique.
Nevertheless, there are common breeds that are typically good choices if you're considering introducing a furry companion to your family. He revealed his top five picks in a recent video.
Irish Setter
The Irish Setter, a lively gundog renowned for its elegance, speed and stunning red coat, came in fifth place. They are widely recognised as excellent family pets due to their generally sweet nature.
They also enjoy playing and are fantastic at fetching tennis balls for children.
Boxer
Following the Irish Setter are Boxer dogs, which are known for their cheerful and playful demeanour. Their patient and protective qualities have earned them a reputation for being great with children.
They take their duties as the home's defender and loyal companion seriously, bravely alerting families to any potential threats.
Beagle
With their famously cheerful disposition, Beagles have earned the third spot on the list. Their lovable nature, boundless happiness and friendly demeanor make them excellent companions for family life.
Labrador
Labradors also received praise from Amir for being among the most affectionate and playful canine breeds worldwide. These dogs are especially noted for their outstanding rapport with children.
On top of that, their high energy levels mean they are a perfect playmate for energetic kids.
Golden retriever
However, the top honour for the ideal family pooch goes to the Golden Retriever, according to the vet. Renowned for its ease of training and gentleness with children, this breed stands out.
Despite their quieter nature when compared to other dog breeds, their popularity is immense. Plus, owners won't have to cope with excessive barking.
The video has gained thousands of views since it was posted online, sparking an array of comments from users. The devotion for Irish Setters, in particular, was notable.
One viewer exclaimed: "Never understood the hype of Golden Retrievers until I got one. They are perfect." Another chimed in with: "You forgot Rough Collie. Outstanding family dog."
