Hello doggy lovers. I have not cared for a dog since I was a child, our three children (13, 10 and 7) have been begging on a daily basis for a dog. There is a very good chance we will be moving to a house with a big garden. We are in a small village in Germany and can walk to vineyards and very large woods (with wild animals such as boar) from our house.
Could you please advise me on a breed which you would think would be happy in our family? I know I will be the one spending the most time with the dog, feeding, walking and training so I believe my views carry most weight! I really want a dog with a happy and even temperament it could be a big or small breed. I like the Bichon Freise as every BF I have ever met has always been so happy. Also Labradoodles seem like they might be a good choice. I would like happy, trainable, and intelligent. I know that although I guard my heart now, once we have a puppy I will be putty in his/her hands so am trying to be hard-headed about choosing a dog that would fit well in our family. We are a typical active and sociable lot.
