Jack Russell Terrier
The Jack Russell Terrier is well-known to be an energetic dog breed. They require constant and structured training at all times. The thing about children is that they like to pinch, pull, and poke dogs. Since Jack Russell Terriers do not tolerate rough play, they have a tendency to bite kids to defend themselves as well as their space. Caring for these pets also require a lot of time and attention. If not trained properly, they can develop behavioral problems. Because of their high energy and low tolerance threshold, they are not recommended for families who have small children.

Chinese Shar-Pei
The Shar Pei looks very cute with all their extra skin and folds and their docile nature but they are not good for families with small children. First off, Shar-Peis often suffer from health issues and their skin folds can become home for various pathogens. Children may run the risk of getting sick when in contact with a sick Shar Pei. Another reason why they aren’t so family-friendly is that they are difficult to train due to their aggressive nature. So if you want to train them, doing it around small children is not a good idea.

Dachshund (Standard Smooth)
A Dachshund is a small dog breed that originated from Germany during the 17th century. They were used to hunt small game animals. They have strong hunting instincts thus they do not go well with other small pets like kittens and hamsters. Because of their small size, they are susceptible to the small dog syndrome wherein they try to make up for their small size by having a large attitude. This often leads to behavioral issues. They can do well around children but do not tolerate rough play. They tend to be aggressive if they sense that they are being manhandled by humans.
