Yes. Every family should have a dog. But, you need to know what dog to get! If you have pet Allergies, then you should get a hypoallergenic dog. If you have small children, then you should get a dog like a Shih-tzu, Golden Retriever, Husky, Alaskan Malumute or Labrador. If you do not have children under the age of 10, then you can get a dog like a Bulldog, Doberman Pincher, Pit bull, Rotwieler or any dog at all really. If you are a single person or a family with children over 6 years old that do not play ruff with animals all the time, then you could get a Chihuahua, Toy Poodle, Yorkie, Maltese, Mini Pincher, Teacup Chihuahua, Teacup Poodle, Teacup Yorkie or Teacup Maltese. Dogs are great companions and great watch dogs! So, yes! Every family should have a dog!

Another perspective:Absolutely not, as evidenced by the incredible number of abused animals. Unless people are prepared to care for a dog properly, they shouldn't even consider having one.

Yes, it's a good experience. A lot of studies show that it is very benificial to children to grow up with pets. Not only can it help the child learn responsibility and provide a friend, but it is also good for their mental health. Petting a furry pet is calming and can cause the release of chemicals in the brain that make you feel good. Even just watching a pet such as a fish has a calming effect on the brain.

It is always beneficial to own a pet; to learn gentleness, patience, care, and love. However, the parent and all members must agree beforehand, and expenses need to be willingly and comfortably met now and in the future. Care must never be passed solely to a child.

I you think you child is responsible and is kind or if you don't know if they are having a pet will give them responsibility you should also tell them everything they will have to do to keep the pet. Pets will also cause less heart attacks and will keep you safe from burgluries so yes you could give your child a dog.
