Not for everyone: Dog breeds with a high risk in the household

Affenpinscher

Affenpinschers are known for their high energy and playful, mischievous nature. Due to their small size, young children might mistake them for toys and handle them too roughly, forgetting they’re living animals.

This can lead to stress for the dog, and if anxious or overwhelmed, the Affenpinscher may react aggressively – something that doesn’t mesh well with the unpredictable behavior of children.
