Want a trained family dog? Three breeds WKD Trained Dogs recommends
Trying to choose the right breed of your dog for your family can be difficult but there are three breeds were often recommend to our clients: Labrador Retriever, Hungarian Vizsla and the German Shorthaired Pointer.
We find all three breeds are intelligent, fun and perhaps most importantly, gentle around children. Read on to find out more about the three breeds we love and recommend at WKD Trained Dogs.
Labrador Retriever
Labradors are the most popular breed of dog in the world because of their lovable, fun, energetic but gentle nature which makes them the perfect choice for families with children and other pets.
Their gentle and intelligent nature also means they’re an excellent choice for people with disabilities, whether that’s as a companion dog or an assistance dog.
Last year a family with an autistic son came to us after reading research about the potential benefits dogs, especially Labradors, can give people with disabilities.
We trained a Black Labrador Retriever for them, who they named Hector. During the first few months of having Hector at home with them they didn’t notice much difference but then their son began talking to Hector and started to seek him out. (You can read a testimonial from the family on our testimonials page)

Hungarian Vizsla
The Hungarian Vizsla (sometimes called the Magyar Vizsla) is a gundog that has been around since the 10th century where they were used as hunting dogs by Hungarian tribes.
Their loyal and affectionate nature has earned the Hungarian Vizsla the nickname ‘velcro dogs’.
Vizslas are gentle around children which makes them a great option for active families who have the time to exercise them daily.

There are currently no Hungarian Vizslas listed for sale on our website, but please contact us to find out if we have any in our kennels.
German Shorthaired Pointer
The German Shorthaired Pointer was developed in Germany in the 19th century for hunting.
They are intelligent, affectionate and energetic and are suitable for active families who can exercise and let them run daily.
German Shorthaired Pointers usually get along with other animals and make good watchdogs.
