Recently I have been dwelling on the idea of getting a dog, I have discussed it with my housemate and they are willing to help look after them while I work late some days and willing to have them around the house as long as its not a huge dog. Can anyone suggest the best breed of dog to have around the house bearing in mind something that's not too big, not too small and most importantly good with kids

"jack russel or and english bull terrier"

couldn't feck with the constant yapping out of a Jack Russell, looked at the English bull terrier but was looking for something a small bit bigger, as its going to be a house dog i was inclined to side with a short haired breed but if needs be i could change my mind if i find the right dog

know its small but a Yorkshire terrier puppy would be ideal and good with kids too have a jack Russell 14 years and she's good with kids depends how they are reared

One other thing I should add, I can't deal with a dog that requires constant attention, yes it will get attention fed and exercised. But there is no way i could deal with an animal that requires round the clock entertainment and attention

if you are away the dog is obviously going to look for a lot of attention when you get home if it has been on its own

Not too worried about the temperament as most dogs react well to training, have had a few Collies when i lived in Ireland, all got from dog pounds and no problems, just really looking for a house dog and I am afraid a collie is not a house dog

If you're not prepared to give it loads of attention PLEASE do not get a dog. I'm sure most dog owners thought they would own the pet before they first got one but now realize they actually belong to the dog.

I am not prepared to devote every living minute of my day to it, However I am prepared to walk them, exercise them feed them and look after them properly. If I wanted something that craved attention 24/7 I would just get married

Google retired greyhounds, and greyhound shelters. Go see them. Speak to the shelter people and see what they say. You will be very surprised.

Wonder if you can get any of the Droopy greyhound breed, be nice to have a famous line of blood in your pet.
