Some breeds endure children with more patience than joy.

Not every dog is built for the chaos of family life. Some tolerate the poking, squealing, and unpredictable movements of children only because they have the temperament to endure it, not because they enjoy it. These breeds may look calm and composed, but under the surface they crave quiet and control. Their patience often fools people into thinking they adore kids, when really they are just putting up with them. Knowing which dogs fall into this category matters, especially when families assume tolerance equals affection.
