:welcome to the herd!

What are you wanting in a dog? A working dog? A pet? Both?

Are you willing to train a puppy? Or would an already trained dog be more along your lines?

Then you need to check out puppies and dog for sale/give away in your area. Play with them. See if they click with you and your family. The breed won't matter so much as the personality. Yes, some breeds are considered more of a family dog than others but, your personality and the dogs need to click and if that is a dog that isn't normally considered a family dog, so what. Just keep in mind the space you have for the dog. If you have a small space then a large dog isn't going to have enough room to exercise and may become a behavioral problem due to it.

St. Bernard, Golden Retriever, Labs, Collies, mixed breeds, it really depends on your personality and whether you like large sized dogs or small sized dogs. If your not sure, look at ads and go looking at the dogs/puppies. If you don't like one when you get there, you don't have to get it. Just tell them sorry, but you don't think any of them are meant for you and leave.

try going on Craigslist and seeing what is available in your area. Or, the shelter......God knows there are enough dogs there. You just may find a nice, trained older (out of puppy age) dog that was turned in or a stray. Since breed is not important, you have so many options! Have fun looking!:D

Ahhhh, Craigslist is a place online one can advertise things they have for sale, to give away, or wanted to buy. But, I believe it is US only.

I would rescue a dog from the pound ..you will save its life and it will thank you forever. Best dog I ever got was a rescue and somehow I think he knew I rescued him because he was a great pal and anways grateful.
