I read alot about having a puppy and a 2 year old, though I am perfectly capable, I feel that I should wait until she is older then get a puppy. I emailed my landlord and she said that as long as I poop and scoop, she doesnt care what my dog is mixed with. I still dont want a lab mixed with a Rottweiler or Pitbull though. This means that I now have the option of adopting a different breed.

That being said, as soon as a dog comes into the shelter that is a match, we will go and see him.

Thank you to everyone who helped me, all I needed was someone to knock some sense into my head. Sorry to everyone else...

What other breeds are recommended for small children?
