The Internet is full of images where dogs and children live in harmony and peace with each other; really these images are usually right since dogs are usually the little guardians of children and children the best playmates for dogs.
However, there is a lot of variety between the different breeds of dogs that exist, there are some very docile ones that can get along well with children, other dogs that are docile but have too much strength and could harm children due to their strength and others with bad character and that they need a lot of space which the child could not respect and earn a bite.

Instructions
- Observe the character of the child: First we must know our son thoroughly, know his character, his way of being and his behaviors. In the first place we will look at age, since a 2-year-old child is not the same as a pre-adolescent who already knows more or less how to fend for himself. The second thing to look at is what our child is like, good children will get along With the dog and the disobedient children they could have problems with him since they will not respect his space at all, it is better to bring this group of children an affectionate breed that never says no.
