    Can a lab mix be considered a medium dog? I think he's lab/terrier mix.

    That's quite possible...I've even seen some full labs that are around 50 pounds...just small girls...but, are you looking for a dog with that kind of exercise requirement and energy level? Labs are extremely energetic and need constant daily exercise above and beyond a walk. And, mixed with a terrier, you may be dealing with a really energetic, stubborn dog.

    LOL Oh oh, better stay away from that kind then. LOL

    On petfinder.com, there is a dog named Mike at the Sparta ANimal Shelter that the kids and I were gazing at.

    Oh, he's adorable! He will probably needs lots of training, and, he may be extremely energetic, even as an adult. But, especially being that young, he looks to be quite a handful...

    Really how energetic and how good with kids varies a lot dog to dog. And I would consider a lab/terrier to be a medium-sized dog ...

    Really visiting the shelter with at least the ten-year-old, then a "trial visit" with the two-year old, to see who appeals to you, would probably be best. So many of the animals featured on http://Dogoftheday.com , http://Catoftheday.com and http://Petoftheday.com start with "Well, I went to the shelter looking for a (fill in the blank, for example I'll use) small black cat, and came home with this big white dog and couldn't be happier" - you never know what will happen until you get there!
