My friend is interested in getting a dog. She is not sure whether she should adopt or purchase one from the pet store. She has a two-year-old child.

I’m not sure I’m understanding this well.  Could you explain to me more about why your friend is looking into getting a dog, and what are the pros and cons for her to look into a dog that she might purchase from a pet store, versus one that she adopts?

She wants a dog as a pet. She needs a dog that is known to have a good temperament around children. She wants to weigh the pros and cons of adopting versus buying.

Well I’m not very familiar with canine temperament, but based on my knowledge of canine temperament, it’s true that some breeds tend to be better with children than others.  Most of them are pretty friendly, but I would say that some might be better than others.
assistant
Can you tell me which ones?
