Introduction

When you start looking for a new dog, it’s easy to get caught up in the cuteness of puppies and forget that adult dogs can make great pets. The reality is that puppies grow up into adult dogs, and those adult dogs can have different needs than the puppy stage. Since we’ve already discussed how to choose a puppy and what to expect from one, it’s time to focus on some larger breeds of dogs. Here are some breeds that are great for families:

1. Golden Retriever (large and mid-size)

Golden Retrievers are very intelligent and easy to train. They are great with children, but they do tend to be energetic and need plenty of exercise. Golden Retrievers are generally healthy, but they can develop hip dysplasia and cancer.

2. German Shepherd (large)

The German Shepherd is an excellent choice for families with children. They are highly intelligent, loyal and protective. They also require a lot of exercise to prevent energy from turning into aggression. German Shepherds can be prone to hip dysplasia, epilepsy and cataracts, so it’s important to have your breeder test for these conditions before you purchase one.

3. Bulldog (large)

The bulldog is a large breed of dog, but not quite up to the size of the German shepherd. The average weight range for this breed is 55-70 pounds, and they have an average lifespan of 8-12 years. They tend to be shorter than other breeds in terms of height as well with a range between 17-22 inches tall at the shoulder.

The Bulldog was originally bred as a fighting dog and can still be aggressive if not trained properly. However, they are also loyal companions who enjoy being around children and people in general; so much so that it’s hard for them to let anyone leave without giving them kisses goodbye!

4. Beagle (mid-size)

The Beagle is a great family dog. They are friendly, intelligent and good-natured. They are also very social with children and other pets. In fact, beagles have been used as therapy dogs for people with disabilities in nursing homes and hospitals for decades.

Beagles are known to be stubborn though so training them is important if you want them to listen when you need them to do something!

5. Boxer (large and mid-size)

Boxers are very family-friendly dogs, which makes them a great choice for families with children. They’re intelligent, playful and energetic—but they also know when to calm down and relax. Boxers are generally good with other pets in the household as well as strangers they meet on walks or at the park.

Boxers need daily exercise to stay healthy and will not be happy if they don’t get enough time outdoors every day. If you have an active lifestyle, this breed could be right for you! But if your daily routine is more sedentary or you live in an apartment with no yard space at all (or even if you do have a yard), then a different breed may be better suited for your lifestyle needs. You should also consider how much grooming a Boxer needs before deciding whether it’s the right breed choice for your family

The five breeds that are the most family friendly, among larger dogs, are the Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Bulldog, Beagle and Boxer.

The five breeds that are the most family friendly, among larger dogs, are the Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Bulldog, Beagle and Boxer. These dogs tend to have a lot of energy and are very playful.

The Golden Retriever is a large dog but it is not aggressive at all. The German Shepherd is also large but not aggressive either since it has a gentle nature and loves kids as they do other animals. Bulldogs are big too but they often get along with others well because they like affection so much that they don’t mind sharing their owner’s love with anyone else in their household! Boxers aren’t quite as big as Bulldogs or German Shepherds yet still quite energetic so it makes sense why families find them easygoing when combined with children who enjoy playing outside together in parks where there might be other dogs nearby.”

Conclusion

We hope this has helped you to decide which dog breed is best for your family. Remember: there’s no “perfect” breed, just one that fits your lifestyle and needs. The most important thing is to educate yourself as much as possible before making any decisions about getting a dog!
