I figured a lot of you probably have dogs and may be able to help me out. I promised my fiancee that I would buy here a dog, so I have begun shopping around. When I was younger I had 2 long haired miniature dachshounds and loved them. Now my parents have a golden retriever, and while I love her and love the breed, I simply will not get a large dog until I have a decent size home with a yard for it to play in. Having a large dog in a small home just isn't fair to the dog. I need a dog that would be good with small children because I like bringing my dogs to outdoor family functions and such. My brother has a french bulldog and I absolutely love it, however the fiancee doesn't, so that is out. I am open to any suggestions, please post pictures if you have any, even if it isn't your exact dog but just a picture of the breed. Thanks guys.
 
We have a Sheltie (Ruby) - I know a lot of people say this, but she is the best dog I have ever been around. She is great with my kids. Follows them around the neighborhood and waits on the porch until they come out. Good Luck.
 
HMM I would have to say a PUG. LOL I'll post the picture of harley T bagging you if you don't remember what he looks like. :whistling: :laugh: :0

All night at your place Saturday Liz kept saying how she wanted a pug. I'm not a big fan of them though, once they get older they aren't playful and have breathing problems.
 
im a little fond of the aust. shephed myself. there's no better dog with kiddos and very smart and east to train. however, it would almost be a crime to have one without a backyard. they need alot of exercise and room to play.

so basically i have no advice for you. i just wanted to steal the platform to brag about aussies.
 
Some have to have a nose surgery to remove bone inbetween their nostils, and they are defiantly a lap dog. Big reason why it was the dog of Buddist Priest.

My brothers french bulldog had the same surgery. I love his dog because it is essentially a leaner/muscular pug, it is also very active.

Here is my parent's golden, Sally, in their motorhome...
