哪种狗狗最适合与孩子共处
What is the best dog for kids
理论上来说,任何狗狗都有可能与孩子们相处得很好。我们也许可以推测哪一个品种对于孩子来说更适合,但你永远都不知道会是哪一只狗狗。有许多因素会影响狗狗和孩子们是否能很好地相处。
今天小编给你支几招,在狗狗成为家庭成员之前你必须先知道的事儿。
This is a common question, but there is no solid answer. In theory, almost any dog has the potential to get along great with children. One can speculate about which breeds might be best for kids, but you just never know how each individual dog will turn out. There are many factors that affect a dog’s ability to get along well with kids. Here are several things that you will need to keep in mind before you get a family dog.




服从训练
Training
服从训练是必不可少的!确保有人在家里可以花大量的时间训练新来的狗狗,尤其当它是一只幼犬。教会它如何在新家中逐渐习惯,如何不攻击家庭的成员。如果一个孩子想参加一起训练狗狗,也必须在成年人的陪同下完成的。此外,也应该教会孩子如何与狗相处。
Obedience training is absolutely essential! Make sure someone in the home can spend a lot of time training the new dog, especially if it is a puppy. If a child wishes to participate in training, it should be done under the supervision of an adult.
In addition, the children in the household will need to be taught how to conduct themselves around dogs.
孩子的年龄
Age and Size
考虑你的孩子的年龄和性格适不适合养一只狗狗。如果是大型犬,在其幼犬时期就可以轻易的扑倒一个刚会走路的孩子,哪怕它只是以为在玩耍。大一点的孩子也可能不小心伤害到小体型的狗狗,例如约克夏,迷你贵宾。成年犬会更适合陪伴你的孩子—因为幼犬总是需要更多的精力和照顾。
Think about the ages and activity levels of your children. Toddlers can be knocked over by an awkward, gangly puppy who does not know his own size. Bigger kids could crush a small dog if they are not always careful. You may wish to consider getting an adult dog that has been around children - a puppy needs a lot of extra attention.
狗的性格
Personality
一个有孩子的家庭最理想的需要一只聪明的,脾气温顺,体能中等的狗狗。某些品种犬可能会天生适合孩子们。这里介绍几个做的不错的狗狗仅供参考:
A family with kids ideally needs an intelligent dog with a good temperament and moderate energy level. Certain breeds may be naturally good with kids. Here are just a few of many dog breeds that tend to do well with children:
1
拉布拉多寻回犬和金毛猎犬Labrador Retriever or Golden Retriever
这两个品种通常与孩子相处的非常好,非常聪明。但你需要每天有充足的时间陪它们玩耍,如果它们每天得不到足够的锻炼,会有点亢奋过度。
These breeds are usually great with kids and pretty smart, but they can be very hyperactive if they do not get enough exercise.
2
贵宾犬(泰迪)Poodle
信不信由你,贵宾犬非常聪明,性格非常好。另外,你还可以有尺寸的选择——玩具型,迷你型或标准型。但是定期打理一身毛发是必要的,同时还有它特别容易发情的特质。
Believe it or not, the Poodle is extremely smart and has a great temperament. Plus, you have a size choice – toy, miniature, or standard. Regular grooming is necessary
3
比雄犬Bichon Frise
这个像小棉花球的一样的小可爱很爱玩,但通常不会太过度。它的体型也适合家中的小朋友。同样定期打理造型是非常必要的。
This little cotton-balls breed loves to play, but is not usually too hyper. It is also a small dog, which is perfect for your little humans. Regular grooming is necessary.
4
比格犬Beagle
比格非常友善,聪明,体型适中,这几点使得它们非常适合孩子们。虽然它们很容易过分激动,但是它们是易于训练的狗狗之一。
These dogs are friendly, clever and not too big, making them very suitable for kids. Though some can be a bit high-strung, they typically respond very well to training.
5
凯恩梗Cairn Terrier
这些活跃的小狗似乎对孩子有一种天然的亲缘关系。他们可以紧紧跟随着孩子们,容忍一切,但仍保持温柔。
These active little dogs seem to have a natural affinity for kids. They can keep up with them and tolerate just about anything, but are still gentle.
6
边境犬和喜乐蒂 牧羊犬Collie and Shetland Sheepdog
这些都是很平静,温柔和宽容的品种,能够与所有年龄的孩子们很好地相处——就像恋人一样。
These are both very calm, gentle and tolerant breeds that often do well with children of all ages and sizes - kind of like Lassie.
7
德国牧羊犬German Shepherd Dog
这个品种是非常忠诚和有主人保护意识的,但必须训练有素。德牧有顽皮的一面,尤其是在年轻的时候,所以你得确保你有充足的体力与时间跟上它的脚步。
This breed is extremely loyal and protective, but MUST be well-trained. The GSD does have a playful side, especially at younger ages.

田园犬Mixed-breed dogs
田园犬,俗称杂交狗。它们出乎意料的非常聪明,体格健康和行为稳定,科学表明,田园犬总各方面来说远优于品种犬。一句话,它们实在是太赞了!另外,你可以选择免费领养一只适合你的田园犬。
Mutts are typically well-balanced and intelligent. Overall, they are truly amazing dogs! Plus, you can save a dog from life in a shelter.
挑选狗狗
Finding the Family Dog
挑选狗狗的时候,最好去当地的动物保护组织那里领养。问问那些寄养在家庭的狗狗。他们 “代理父母”了解并且爱它们。正因如此他们想让狗狗去好的家庭,往往就会对狗狗的个性和性情非常诚实。救助人可以指导你如何教导狗狗去适应你孩子的生活方式。如果你想要一只纯种狗,去正规的培育基地购买。不管如何,请以领养代替买卖。
如果您选择了纯种狗,一定要彻底查清狗狗的来历,以免购买病狗。与同小区的养狗人士互相多多交流。多跑跑医院,兽医也可以给你一些好的建议。在中国,个人饲养者会比宠物店更可靠些,在个人饲养者这里你可以了解更多这只狗狗的性格,脾气和相关信息。
When it is time to look for a dog, try visiting local rescue groups. Ask about dogs that have been in foster care. Their foster 'parents' know and love them. Since they want the dogs to go to the right homes, they tend to be very honest about the dogs' personalities and temperaments. You can ask the rescue workers to guide you towards dogs that fit your kids' lifestyles. If you want a purebred dog, go to a reputable breed-specific rescue. Otherwise, you can go to a general rescue group with a good reputation.
If you choose to get a purebred dog from a breeder, thoroughly research the reputations of multiple breeders. Ask for references and talk to fellow dog lovers in your community. Your vet may also be able to advise you. Once you choose a breeder, spend a lot of time talking about the temperament and socialization history of the pups. An experienced, responsible breeder will know the pups and parents well and share information freely.

Congratulations, you have found a new dog for your family. Having a dog is a wonderful way to enrich your child’s development and create beautiful memories to be treasured for years to come.
