Very well, Bengals adapt quickly to all family members and their playful nature makes them excellent companions for children. Here is my son Declan (when he was 2 1/2) with a 10 week old male blue marble. Declan does what most children do, grabs, pulls, and squeezes. And our Bengals just deal with it. Bengals are more tame than most pets if you choose the right breeder.

Most Abys are very good with kind children and readily accept gentle dogs. There are always exceptions to the rule but in general this is a characteristic we have seen in our kittens.

Venus traps are buried firmly in the ground and are not easy for children or dogs to dislodge. They are also not very interesting! If they are in a very vulnerable area a pot plant or brick can be placed on top.

All of the dogs we sell go through a complete testing program that gives good information as to the character of the dog. All of our imports come from environments much like we have here in the States. The dogs live and train in the family unit and grow up around farm animals, other people, and small children. When we receive our import dogs we test them and proof them around children and other animals to insure we are providing you with the most stable dogs with great temperaments. Back to Top

This depends on the individuals involved ? the child, the dog, and perhaps most importantly, the parents. The Bernese is NOT a always the best choice of breed for a family with small children. Many Berner puppies go through a "mouthy" stage that can be unwittingly encouraged by young children. Many Berners' bodies grow faster than their "brains" which can be a challenge to the inexperienced dog owner.

We do not place dogs with faulty temperament. Faulty temperament would include a dog that demonstrates inappropriate aggression toward other dogs, adults, or children. Our dogs are typically adolescents under two years of age, with high drives and energy, and can be quite athletic and forceful in play. Subsequently, when the household has children under 12 years of age, we will only place a dog with an experienced handler.

Airedales can be excellent family dogs, but many rescued Airedales come from families who purchased them as pups to "grow up" with their children, not realizing that an Airedale puppy takes just as much time to raise properly as an infant human. When the harried mother finds she does not have the time and energy to train and exercise a puppy, as well as take care of her toddler, the puppy is banished to the back yard, where he digs and howls from boredom and loneliness.

Yes, these dogs are terrific with children. They are very social by nature, and enjoy the attention they receive from children.

Canaan Dogs can make wonderful family companion dogs - but not for every family. When raised with children they are absolutely devoted to them and very protective. It is very important to socialize Canaani, with other dogs, with children, with adults. The more socialization, the better the dog will get along with other dogs and other people.

Dogs are prey animals and because children are small and exhibit a lot of the same behavior as prey (running, shrill screaming, flailing) they are primary targets. Most children are also not aware of the best way to approach (or not approach) a dog. Information is available on our Education page to help parents teach their children the right and wrong things to do with dogs.

All dogs are individuals; some are very friendly while some are more reserved or even shy. Our dogs have very little contact with small children and are therefore not well suited for them. The dogs are very friendly but their size is large. Thus, a happy dog and a small child is not a good mix. More info

Like most dogs, Vizslas who are well socialized will get along very well with children, cats, and other dogs. They love affection and companionship. In general, the more people and animals that are around them, the happier they are.

No problem, as long as you socialize them properly like you would do with any dog, it is more a matter of how well the children behave around the dogs! Children must be taught how to properly behave with dogs, or any animal for that matter. If the children are well behaved, the TRD will be the same. The BEST!
