Which Dogs are Good With Children?

Question:

Are weimeraner dogs good with children and other dogs?

A:  Weimeraners are typically very good with children and other dogs. 

Just like any breed of dog, with proper training, Weimeraners make a perfect family dog.  They are typically active dogs and like to chase a ball or go for a walk, but they also have a lazy side.  They are not known to be aggressive.  But they do need a good amount of exercise.

The most popular family dogs are Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Poodles and their crosses, Beagles, and Boxers.  (this is a very abbreviated list)

I would recommend training classes for any new dog to make sure to start on the right foot.  The rest of their life can be very rewarding.

we have a new baby and had two labs, (chocolate and black) that were not quite 2 years old when our baby was born. they are fantastic with the baby. obviously we don't leave them alone together, but the labs are in awe of the baby and are very gentle. (we did get some dog training to prepare for the baby and i think it would be beneficial for anyone to get puppy training). we actually took a couple of classes, but they were not very helpful, then we found a lady online- "a dog whisperer" trainer. our dogs are much calmer now and very gentle. the web is carolinadogtraining.com. do your research though. good luck and labs are fantastic family pets.
