A Lab is the way to go if you have kids

Stay away from Miniature Pinchers! Darn little things think they own the world! And all they ever want is food!

IMO, You can't beat a Shepard mix. Especially mixed with another big dog such as a lab. collie or ridge-back.

You get loyalty, smarts and protection. A lot of peeps will tell you different things, I hope you listen to me.

Hi. I didn't want to hijack the other dog thread, but coincidentally my family is in the brainstorming stages of adopting a dog. We've been thinking mixed, with possible parts golden; black lab; and/or shepherd. Maybe some hound. However, the border collie sounds pretty good in the other thread.

We want something that'll be good with kids (6 & 8), not need extreme maintenance, and eat burglars. We're in a family neighborhood, with a basset, a golden & a yap-yap dog in adjoining yards. Taking walks is expected, but not running free. Any advice?

Thanks much.
