There are many breeds that are good with families and children - but it depends on the family's preferences, their previous dog experience and the individual dog in question. For example, I know lots of people who say Shelties are perfect with children, but I knew two who were not at all. And for example, Saint Bernards and Newfoundlands can be great dogs and are often wonderful with children, but only someone who is prepared for a giant breed and drool should consider them! My best advice would be go to your local shelter, and see what dog there reacts well with your kids, and with you - that's the perfect breed!
