I am just so happy to read you have had a change of heart and now are going to rescue a dog from a shelter, that is awesome news,you are doing a wonderful thing in doing just that, good luck and let us know when you have picked your furbaby up and pics too please.

ditto! and I don't think a basset hound is a bad choice but of course that is jmho.

Tasha, I am in tears. I am so glad you've changed your mind on this.

I was looking through different shelters in BC.. Look at this sweetheart. It doesn't say anything about how he is with kids, but everything else sounds perfect for your situation. He's also a Lab mix! He especially melts my heart as he reminds me of Nala.

He looks like a sweety! We will go have a look, maybe this Saturday! If he is what we want - pray that the SPCA doesnt turn us down.

I'm also really glad you're considering rescue - that is awesome.

I am kinda late, but as to other breeds that I've experienced as being good with kids - English Springer Spaniels, Goldens, Brittany Spaniels, German Shorthaired Pointers... basically most sporting breeds, as long as they aren't too hyper for little ones. GSD's, Rough/Smooth Collies, Huskies, Standard Poodles, Great Pyrenese, and English Bulldogs also tend to have good kid personalities. However, it really does vary! For instance, my BC is very shy with some new kids and kids that are hyper and run around (even though he loves the kids in our family)... BUT, I've also met BC's who adore kids.

Yes, like my friend had a siberian husky who was always the sweetest. One day it attacked her 5 year old sister and her died tried to get the dog off her but it went after him so her dad shot it. It could have gotten rabies though because it had recently been bitten by coyote.
