About family dogs in Torridge
When you have children, the best guide to a good match is not the breed but the individual dog and what its rescue or foster home has already seen it do around children. This page gathers the dogs listed with rescues in and around Torridge that their rescue says can live with children.
An adult dog that has lived with children and coped well is the closest thing to a sure bet, which is a real advantage of adopting over buying a puppy of unknown temperament. A dog whose profile says nothing about children, or that can live with older children only, is not listed here, so ask the rescue about any dog you like. Always supervise early meetings and teach children to be gentle.
