Jack Russell Terrier

The Jack Russell Terrier is renowned for being energetic, and require lots of structured and consistent training. They also do not tolerate rough play very well, so may bite kids who pull and poke them in playfulness. If they don’t get the proper care – a lot of time and attention – they can easily develop behavioral problems, so add that to their high energy and low tolerance threshold, and consider if you have the right resources to care for this breed of dog alongside your own small children.

Chinese Shar-Pei

The Shar-pei is another dog that looks extremely cute and cuddly with all their extra skin folds and docile nature, however, they may not be the best choice for a family with small children. Firstly, they have a tendency to be quite aggressive in nature which can make them quite difficult to train, especially around little ones, and secondly they have a tendency to suffer from health issues as well as their skin folds being an easy home for various pathogens, which can easily transfer to children who come in contact with them – so depending on the outdoor habitat of your home, it may not necessarily be a risk you want to take.
