Unless of course if you are willing to have them undergo regular grooming session daily.

You don't want to end up having any of your kids get hurt by your dog don't you? Labrador and Golden Retriever are just some of the dogs that are recommended in this case.
4. In choosing a dog breed, it is also important to consider your budget. There are breeds that you would need to spend more when it comes to maintenance. Their grooming and food are the most common things that you need to spend on. For other breeds, the list could be longer. So make sure that you know how to take care of the breed that you are choosing so that you can determine that the expenses related to it.
