Looking to find the best family dog? A breed that fits with your life style? Consider the hunting dog breeds!  Their ability to love people and learn and have purpose are some reasons they thrive as family pets..

•    You can easily train your dog to hunt with you, but you can also train him to sit, stay, shake, and keep watch over the baby crawling on the floor when you go into another room.
 
•    Your hunting dog will make a good family dog because he will always be full of excitement.  He'll have his extended puppy stage, where he'll like to romp and play with the children, but he'll never be too wild or callous with them. He'll also grow into an adult who is calm and gentle with the kids and you, but who will always enjoy a good hunt, or a good romp in the grass with the family.  Having fun makes hunting dogs one of the best breeds for children of all ages!
 
•    Hunting dogs make great family pets because they can be easily trained to alert you to danger. If you train your hunting dog to hunt with you, he'll help keep you safe while you are hunting, along with catching your kill. However, even if you don't train your dog to hunt, he'll still feel that it is his job to keep the family safe. You can put him in the yard when the kids are playing, and know that he'll alert you to any danger. He is a great family watch dog  as well.

The temperament of a hunting dog is also one of the things that make him a good family dog. Temperament is very important in choosing dogs.

•    Hunting dogs are known to be very sweet and docile with all members of the family. You can feel safe allowing him to play with the children. He can be a family watch dog, as well as a great breed for children, because of how sweet he can be.
