Hi. I am thinking about getting a dog next year. I dont know what kind of dog is right for my family and I though. Here is what our life is like...
Here are the breeds I was thinking about. What do you think?
- There are 3 kids in the family...so we need a dog that is excellent with kids and protective of kids, too.
- We need a dog that does not have a lot of dander or sheds a lot, because my dad is allergic to dogs that shed a lot. He is fine with our pit bull/lab but with our GSD (who no longer lives with us) he did not do well at all. We need a dog that has a thin coat to help these matters.
- We need a big dog that will get along well and play with Rupert, our pit bull/lab.
- My grandma is home 24/7 but my sister, brother, and I are at school 7 hours of the day. My mom works for hours unknown everyday, usually is home before I get home from school. My dad works until late at night.

- Chesapeake Bay Retriever
- Curly Coated Retriever
- Staffordshire Bull Terrier
