What small dogs are considered good breeds for children?

We know that many people have young children that beg for a dog as a pet. As a parent, you definitely want to make the right decision when bringing a dog into your home and in the presence of your kids on a daily basis. Even though a small dog is easier to control than a large dog, certain small dog breeds are simply better suited for younger children than others. Keep in mind however, that no dogs should be teased or mishandled regardless of their temperament.


Below we have compiled a list of the small dogs that do quite well with young children and families. These dogs are in no specific order (besides alphabetically), but they are typically mild mannered and playful around young kids.
