Weimaraner

Weimaraners are another breed who may not be the best pick if you have small kids, but for other reasons. Their excitable nature, and elevated energy levels cause them to unintentionally knock little ones over. Bred as a hunting dog, they bore easily, and need constant activity and love from owners. Meeting your weimaraner’s needs, along with caring for young kids will leave your hands extremely full.

Australian Shepherd

The Australian Shepherd is another breed who need lots of exercise. Bred as watchdogs and disaster rescue dogs, these pups need daily walks and runs or behavioral problems have the ability to develop. With little kids to care for, the needs of this breed may be too much for parents with multiple tots to run after. Australian Shepherds are also often uneasy when meeting new people, and with play-dates a weekly ordeal, this may be less than ideal.
