Thai Bangkaew Dogs are generally good with children when raised with them, as they are loyal and affectionate family companions. However, due to their strong sense of hierarchy and dominant nature, they may view younger children as lower-ranked members and may not tolerate annoying behaviors, which can lead to nips or bites. Supervision is always required, especially with small kids, and early socialization is essential to ensure they remain gentle and patient playmates.
