Pekin vs Swedish pls help choose!

[Anniebb2]

Hi everyone
Looking for a few ducks as pets for the kids.
Trying to decide between getting pekins or Swedish blues or one of each.
Two main questions:
Have you found one friendlier than the other?
Are Swedish as noisy as pekins?

Thank you!

I have had both breeds. Pekin ducks are very friendly, but the two that I have had had a lot of health problems. Our blue Swedish is super friendly, we got her from Meyer hatchery. Noise level varies on the individual, but our blue Swedish is quieter than the Pekins.

Thanks so much that’s super helpful. I’m leaning towards the Swedish
