Siberian Husky

Siberian Huskies are another breed known for their inexhaustible energy. Their strong personality and desire for affection will have them competing with kids for attention. If you want a guard dog to protect your brood, the Siberian Husky is not the breed for you. Since they were originally bred as sled dogs, they have zero interest in guarding your home. But, with proper training and a whole lot of patience, this breed may be the perfect family dog for you and yours.

Affenpinscher

Affenpinschers are known for their playful and equally amusing nature. This breed is the jokester of dog breeds, known to be very mischievous and inquisitive. Since they are quite small, children often think of them as stuffed animals, and thus mishandle them. Although they do well at defending themselves against rough play, they may act out if they feel uncomfortable. Just look at that face, we don’t blame your little ones for mistaking them as toys!
