I have found that when you rescue a dog it is loyal. It knows that you saved it. You may want to look into getting a dog that is already an adult. I adopted a German Shepherd when she was 4 and she was already trained. A lot of people seem to want to adopt puppies and ignore the older dogs which is sad. Lola is now 8 and has been a joy to have. I also also adopted a Black Lab I named Husker from the pound when she was 11 months old. She was pretty easy to train. She will be 6 in July. Both of my girls are very good with kids. You need to pick a dog that fits in with your lifestyle.

I got one from a shelter and would piss in my daughter's room and also piss on every visitor I had. Finally when my ex got drunk and started trying to hit me like bruce lee the good dog bit her really hard in the ass and we got rid of it

My only regret is the dog still pisses on all the visitors

To answer the original question... what is the president getting for a dog? I would get that kind

I am looking for a dog that is loyal, easy trained and good with children (as my little nephews are often at my house).

Any ideas on what would be the best type of dog for me?

Also, any thoughts on names for my doggie??

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I DO KNOW that a dog is for life...I have been thinking about this for quite a while.

a golden retriever is the most friendly, loyal, gentle breed I've ever seen. Extremely obedient and excellent with children.

The most perfect family dog you could ever imagine...

Check out rhodesian ridgebacks, they are beautiful dogs and loyal... a bit protective though which could be a good thing.

i would recommend a pit bull. this is Isis. i rescued her about two months ago from the local shelter.

incredibly loyal, very obedient, and very loving. she's only 4 months and she has already been picking up commands very easily. she gets a bit over excited when she meets new people and tries to lick them to death, but she's starting to figure out that she needs to settle down before people will pay attention to her. the excitement is pretty much a constant with puppies though, with work and time she will grow out of it.

great dog though, and now i am sold on pit bulls completely. other breeds don't even compare.

She is adorable. Pit Bulls get a bad rap. My neighbor has one and he is a sweet dog.

my friend just bought a beagle that is amazingly cute as a puppy and seems like a fairly intelligent dog so far.

I have a black lab that I bought at 6 weeks old, hes 10 now. They are supposed to be 80lbs on the bigger side, mine is purebred and not fat at 114lbs. Hes just a VERY large lab lol. Great dog, they are incredible with kids and very easy to train. They need attention though so if you arent going to be around a lot, skip the lab.
