Today, we want to talk dive a little bit deeper in talking about which small breeds of dogs fit well with families that have small children! With so many breeds out there to choose from, it can be a hard decision to make. But don’t worry, PetlandPets is experienced with matching the right puppy with the right family! The only hard decision you’ll be making now is which of these pint-sized kid-friendly dog breeds you’ll want to take home. ### [Pug](https://petlandoklahoma.com/breed/pug/) Whether it’s lounging inside or being active outside, the Pug is a perfect match for families with young children. Even though they are considered a small breed, they are very hearty and can take some rough love! Because of their flat faces, they don’t do well in extreme temperatures, but as good apartment dogs, they won’t go crazy if inside for long periods of time. ### [Cavalier King Charles Spaniel](https://petlandoklahoma.com/breed/cavalier-king-charles-spaniel/) Sweet and loving to a fault, the Cavalier is the quintessential family dog. Even if they are being tugged on or trod on, this breed will always stand by its people! The Cavalier tends to not be a super active dog, so keep that in mind if your children are always on the go. Think more dress up and tea party time! Want to know more? We recently did a blog about the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. ### [Miniature Poodle](https://petlandoklahoma.com/breed/miniature-poodle/) The Poodle is an excellent choice for children or family members with allergies. As a hypoallergenic breed, the Poodle has hair as opposed to fur, severely cutting down on its dander and making it nearly non-shedding in comparison to other animals. However, because the hair is constantly growing, you will have to have the dog grooming periodically. Enjoying this read? You'll love our puppies. Adorable, vet-checked pups looking for their forever homes — available now. [Meet our puppies](https://petlandoklahoma.com/puppies-for-sale/) ### [Beagle](https://petlandoklahoma.com/breed/beagle/) Not many people haven’t heard of this breed! The Beagle has been a popular choice for families for many years because of its ability to be a loyal companion. Technically a small to medium-sized pooch, the Beagle is the largest on our list today. They are an especially great breed for several small children or kids that are very active, as the Beagle loves to run and play! ### [Boston Terrier](https://petlandoklahoma.com/breed/boston-terrier/) This playful breed is one of our favorites to match with families! The Boston is loving, easy-to-train and does well with small children and other pets. As another hearty breed, the Boston can take some accidental licks and keep on ticking! They also tend to be quieter than some other small breeds. Same goes for the flat faced Boston as the Pug, limit outdoor time when the weather is too hot or cold, as it can make it harder for the Boston to breathe. As always, we encourage you to stick to a training protocol and supervise your new pup around the family. Even if they are kid friendly dog breeds, it is also very important that you teach your children to properly handle your new four-legged family member. Our Pet Counselors are always here to help make the transition to pet owner an easy one! #### **Interested in finding out which kid friendly dog breeds we have in the store right now?
