Wise, not all dogs have the right character to deal with children. We tell you which are the races that get along well and, in case they are mestizos, what things you should look at when choosing them.

Having a dog at home can bring many benefits.

The relationship that a child can deploy with your pet will help you build bonds based on respect. It also generates a link with nature, creates habits and sets limits. If there is care and love, it can favor the development of verbal, non-verbal communication, compassion and empathy.

However, not all animals are recommended to live with children. We must not forget the numerous attacks that there have been, in recent years, related to the Rottweilers, German and Siberian shepherds, among other teething dogs.

It is convenient to choose a race of calm temperament. As a puppy you can see which are the most restless and which are not,

explains Dr. Jorge Fiorentino, head of the emergentology service at the Gutiérrez Hospital.

Little dominant. He has no tendency to jealousy or presents problems if he feels displaced within the group. For example, it does not bother him that the child grabs his toys or sits on his bed.

Patient and affectionate. It does not have to bother him that the children scream, jump, run or invade the space of others. Must tolerate the effusive hugs and displays of affection.

Little territorial. He must be tolerant of the invasion of his space. For example, if a child approaches a place that the dog considers his territory, as his resting place, if the dog is very territorial and not well educated, it will show his rejection.

Playful. A dog that likes to play will form a good team with the child. Puppies of any breed are playful, but they also involve more care than an adult dog.
