Breed of Dog?

I like pug...

I have 3 children ages 8,5,1 and we have an english mastiff. These are big dogs, but they are laid back. Not real hyper. Super gental with the kids. My son who is 1 years old, learned to crawl and walk with help of this guy. They are best friends. My son even sneaks him treats and he takes them out of his hand so soft. great dog.

My personal favorite breed of dog is the American Pit Bull Terrier.

My sisters and I had an Old English Sheepdog..We were older though..I don't know if it would be a great dog for a four year old but the one we had was so sweet and he never tried to bite us and we played pretty roughly with him.

The tiny ones seem to be more high strung and snap. You can look on the internet, and they will list the breeds and their temperments. Or, go to the pound and save a dog. If it's a little older, you can see it's character. Good luck.

Labs are great, I've got three and none of them seem to have a vicious bone in their bodies.

We have a Sheltie (Shetland Sheepdog). She is very good with the kids (ages 4 and 2 plus I have an in-home daycare). She will let them know if they are doing something wrong (since they are a herding dog). I have never had any problems with her. I would recommend Shelties anytime! Good luck finding your new family member.

i have a lab/ rottweiler mix - see pic, she is great mannered and is so full of love. i prefer female dogs over the males - they seem less aggresive

Huskys are so cool! /\~~~Good~~~\/ /\~~~Luck~~~~\/ /\~~~On~~~~~\/ /\~~~MyLot~~~\/ Tjmoola ™

i honestly dont know about a german shepard around a small child..especially if its mixed breed from a pound or something we adopted a shepard from the pound and she was down right vicious she would about eat us up even trying to pet her..she was very dangerous around her food stuff..and we thought maybe she needed another dog to try and calm her down..we adopted a newfoundland mix..(who is the most gentle loving thing in the universe) and she tried everyday to kill him..after repeated attempts to try and just calm her down ..and her still biting us and leaving scars..we finally had to take her back to the pound ..:(( i still cry myself to sleep over this but wasnt anything else i could do..so please make sure whatever you do get is very very mild tempered

the best dog breed i had ever had was an english springer spaniel he was a wonderful dog had him since he was 9 wks old and he had a wonderful 15 yrs of life and i found old max to be loyal, and loving and if i ever get another dog thats what i would get in shakespear they where known to be mans best friend

german shepard....i had one and he was a great family dog and a great guard dog too he protected the family while being the family pet as well....

We have a golden retriever and she is adorable. She lets the kids do anything to her and doesn't even flinch. She'd never hurt our children but at the same time she lets strangers outside that they are not welcome!

We raise shih tzus at my house. They are great, very small, most are very friendly ... and most of all, they're adoreable. They are the most loving dogs I've ever been around ... very tame and not too hyper. They also don't eat so much if you're on a budget. And talk about easy clean-up in the backyard!

Golden retrievers are a good choice for a family dog. I don't know of any really mean golden retrievers. Labs can be tempermental at times but are still a good choice.

labs ande golden retrievers r good dogs, so r huskies, and small dogs, a toy breed doesn't interest u, i have a shih tzu my kids luv him!

I think a lab or a beagle would be your best bet. Labs have a very good temperment and not as hyper as a golden. Or just adopt one from a shelter, they need a good home too.

Ive got a little bijon maltese. He's about 10 lbs and super smart and playfull... not to mention the cutest thing on four legs!

I will be getting a Red Healer in a few weeks from my neighbor.. She is a really sweet dog and they don't get very big. If you don't want something too big..

We have a tibetian spaniel. Gorgeous but loves to take off if the gate is open.. and she's a sook
