Should you get a big dog or a small one? Would you prefer a long-haired dog or not? Will it be primarily a guard dog or a pet? Does this sound so overwhelming? Before you go on panic mode, here are some tips on what the best dog breeds for families are. The most important thing you have to consider when choosing a dog is its disposition or temperament.It is best to look for a dog breed that has been identified as mild-mannered and a great companion for children. Even if you don't have children, most families would want a dog that is easy to train and gets along with visitors and all the members of the family. So, without further ado, here are some of the best dog breeds for families: Golden Retrievers are medium-sized breed of dogs whose loyal and calm temperament makes them a popular family pet. These intelligent dogs are easily trained and are usually patient and gentle with children. Golden Retrievers like to please their masters and are friendly with almost everybody, including other dogs. They have very little guarding instincts but could bark loudly when a stranger tries to approach. Goldens are an average shedder and lives for about 10-12 years. They also love to swim! Labrador Retrievers come in colors of solid black, chocolate or yellow and is also one of the most popular breeds of dogs in the US. Like the Goldens, Labrador Retrievers are loyal, intelligent and good-natured dogs. Labrador Retrievers need human leadership and could be destructive if left too much on their own. They should have enough mental and physical activity and need to feel as part of the family. Irish Setters have coat colors from mahogany to chestnut red. They have no guarding instincts and are good with children. Owners need to have an air of authority since this breed could be impulsive if not handled with a firm hand. Be sure to give this dog plenty of mental and physical exercise. If you have set your heart on this type of dog, I would suggest that you choose a pup that is more submissive. Beagles are one of the cutest breeds out there! They are loving, happy, sociable dogs. Beagles are quite independent so it is important that you become its pack leader. They need patient, firm training with plenty of mental and physical exercise.
