If your kid loves to have a pet, then what other than a dog. A friend and a companion for life. In Singapore due to high humidity and abundant rainfalls, certain dog breeds are a big NO. 

So we have curated a list of best dogs to have as a pet with kids and families. 

 Singapore Special

The Singapore Special refers to a dog that has been bred in the streets. The Singapore Special could typically be said to be short-haired, medium to large-sized, black-muzzled, has pointy ears, brown fur, and on the skinny side. You can easily adopt one from the government authorized dog agencies. 

 

Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever is a confident, smart, kind, and loyal dog. Neither aggressive nor timid, the Golden Retriever is extremely patient, which makes them a perfect match for kids.

 Labrador Retriever

This is one of the most popular dog breeds. The Labrador Retriever is playful, patient, loving, protective, and reliable. Another perk, Labs are highly intelligent and take well to training. But they need a lot of exercises. 

 

Beagles

The Beagle’s small size and calm temperament make this breed a great choice for families. Smart, friendly, and happy, the Beagle usually gets along with kids and other pets. 

Toy Poodle

The Toy Poodle is the smallest version of the Poodle breed but has the same general temperament and physical characteristics as its Standard and Miniature counterparts. Toy Poodles are intelligent, active, and social breed. 

Bulldog

The Bulldog has a sturdy build that is perfect for kids. A docile, friendly, and loyal dog, the Bulldog gets along well with other pets and dogs, too. The Bulldog is comfortable living in large houses as well as small apartments.

 Pomeranian

Pomeranians make excellent pets for older people and those who are busy because they aren't an overly dependent breed. They are also good for apartment dwellers or homes that don't have a backyard. They are small so kids have to be extra careful not to hurt them.
