I would go for a Lab. We have a female black lab that is 12. She has always been awesome with kids and she doesn't bark, unless you call her a B!$#@ or a slut. There is a fairly new breed called a Labradoodle. There are also Goldendoodles. They are a cross between labs (or Goldens) and poodles. They are non allergenic and don't shed.

Teehee. That's the funniest thing in the world Kari.

My daughter desperately wants a Poodle or a Chihuaha. Hubby wont' hear of it! But a Goldendoodle sounds just hysterical!

can't go wrong with an English Bulldog. They are short haired, between 50-60 lbs (lil smaller for females) and one of the best breeds with children, really laid back. Plus they are the best looking...

here is a pic of my 10 month Bully AJ with his new boots...

I read up on them a while back. Seemed like a really good match for our family. I'll check into those some more!

You have some of the best Lab Kennels right around you. Let me know if you want the name of a couple.

I LOVE LABS!!!! Yellow, black, or chocolate. All sweet and endearing. Those are high on my list....but I think hubby would need some persuading on one. They are truly the best dogs for kids, in my mind!!

Tell Matt to quit being a pansy. Oh my allergies Waaa waaa.

Rule #1 Poodles are NOT dogs.
Rule #2 Anything in a sweater is NOT a dog.

A standard poodle is probably as tall, but not as broad, as a German shepherd. And poodles were originally bred as hunting dogs.

I saw the title of this thread and thought "Cool, someone wants to boycott Korean restaurants."

So were cocker spaniels.

I do! That actually sounds a lot like our conversations!!! Except substitute pansy for wussy.

ridgebacks are big, great with kids, (bred specifically to protect children from lions in the south african outback) have very short hair and don't shed alot. but have selective hearing, and need exercise, don't play fetch, and hate water. not a breed for everyone. but if they're a fit for you and your lifestyle, they're great.


the classic breed pose, me good. i tree'd the lion. really......

Tell him men only can use the allergy excuse as a last ditch effort to not own a cat.

My sister has 2 cocker spaniels. Not my favorite dogs in the world. Too yippy.

But cocker spaniels can only hunt in San Francisco.

We're most definitely NOT cat people so that's not a problem. But yes...he needs to get over it!!!!!

That's a good loking dog. My husband has selective hearing too, so I should be able to manage that. We have a huge yard...and I probably could use the extra exercise too. I'll definitely check those out!

Our snake would probably eat that thing.

But you need some kind of hippie dog. You know the type really freaking ugly but can catch a frisbie like mad.

As long as it won't eat my Birks, I'll be happy

That sounds like some women I knew in college.
