I think it is very manageable to raise a puppy with children, it can be done. I grew up with dogs, we had a couple puppies. I remember those fond memories.. nothing like having a puppy and growing up with it.
I believe it is a matter of finding the right breed with your family. |
I must admit - I do agree.
What else I think you have to bear in mind.....quite often, these dogs are rescues FOR A REASON. Sometimes they don't like men/children/something else, which creates a whole new set of problems.
I wish you all the luck in the world with whatever you decide
