With so many good dog breed options these days it might seem hard to be able to choose the best one for you, but here at Petland Kennesaw we are able to lend a helping hand to anyone searching for the perfect companion animal for their home. Now, everyone’s lifestyle is different and that means that there is no “one best breed”, but everything that happens in your everyday life can factor into which dog breed would be best for you. We are experts in asking the right questions, listening to your concerns and ascertaining your situation and what might fit your lifestyle. The breeds below are our go-to breeds for families and we’ve also added a little additional information on the breeds themselves, so enjoy! Also, check out our available puppies for sale!

Golden Retrievers

Golden retrievers are one of the most friendly, trustworthy and loyal dogs. They are great companions for children of all ages because of their patience and gentleness.

Not only will a golden retriever make a great buddy, but they are also beautiful dogs. Check out these interesting facts about the Golden Retriever here!

Beagles

Beagles make great family dogs because they are playful and full of energy. A beagle’s sweet demeanor, pretty coloring and small-to-medium size make it a great pet for families with children.

Standard or Miniature Poodles

Poodles are popular as family-friendly pets. They are full of energy and love to be around older kids. These dogs need room to run and play — and in return will be very friendly and affectionate with the family. Not only are they easy to train because of their fierce intelligence they are also gorgeous dogs.

English Bulldogs

English bulldogs are known as loyal dogs who live well with children and other pets.

Goldendoodles

A goldendoodle is a designer breed dog, a combination of golden retriever and poodle. Both breeds are known for being kid-friendly, but put them together and they make amazing family pets! The goldendoodle is intelligent, sweet and easy to train. They are known for being social and their ability to get along well with other family pets. Goldendoodles are adorable and affectionate — the perfect addition to any home! This is one of the best dog breeds for families!

Standard and Miniature Australian Shepherds

Australian shepherds are very active, fun-loving pets. They are devoted to their family and enjoy getting attention from their owners. These dogs are courageous and smart, which makes for a good dog to have around the house. “Aussies” are wonderful with kids, as they love to play. They are also agile and easy to train — which gives parents more time with the kids. A fun, loyal friend, this breed would fit in any household.

The Teddy Bear is another type of designer breed puppy and is a mix between the Shih Tzu and the Poodle. The Teddy Bear is known to have an extra big personality! They are fun-loving cuddle bugs that play well with children and get along with other pets. This breed has minimal shedding — which helps with the household cleaning. Teddy Bears would make a nice, clean pet for any loving family!

German Shepherds

This breed is highly intelligent, clever and they fully trust their families. German shepherds love to be close to their owners and they like to protect their family. They are eager to please and are gentle with their family members.

It is important to keep in mind that even though these are our top dog breeds for families, that doesn’t mean you have to choose one of them for your forever pet! There are so many breeds to choose from depending on your needs and we can not only help you find “the one”, we can also find it from a safe and reputable breeder with only the highest standards of care for not only the puppies, but the adult dogs too!
