1. Chihuahua

Chihuahua is a relatively small dog with a relatively compact body and looks quite docile. But parents must not be fooled by its appearance. This kind of dog is quite naughty, and some of its behaviors are unpredictable. Sometimes it will come out of the blue and bite you lightly, so if you have children at home, it is recommended not to raise a Chihuahua.

If the dog discovers that the parents have brought back other strange dogs, the Chihuahua is very possessive and will bark to express its dissatisfaction. But dogs are very loyal to their owners, and they get along very well with cats at home.

 2. Miniature Poodle

When talking about poodles, we have to mention their sensitivity and shyness. When dealing with strangers, it often behaves indifferently. In fact, this is just a manifestation of its shyness. This kind of dog is generally suitable only for staying with its owner. If parents take it to an unfamiliar environment, it will slowly adapt to it.

One of the great features of miniature poodles is that they can play well with the children at home. Although the dog is a little introverted, it is very competent as a child's playmate.

3. Pekingese pug

This kind of dog is simply not too cute. If it is trained from an early age, the dog's obedience is quite high, and it is especially easy to make its owner happy. Pekingese dogs actually enjoy lying on their owners’ knees and keeping them company. If parents have time, they can play with it.

And Pekingese dogs also like to play with children. Another great feature is that they don’t shed hair often. After training, a pug can also become a "beautiful man" who knows how to be measured and quiet.

 4. Chinese Pastoral Dog

This kind of dog is also a native dog breed in China. Moreover, it looks like a wolf, but its personality is very docile. This kind of dog is very loyal, and it is very easy to raise and will not be picky about food. It is one of the most common dog breeds in rural areas and is generally used to guard homes and nursing homes.
