My husband and I have a four year old son and a 1 month old girl. We want to get a dog next summer. I've had pets all my life (grew up with labrodor retreivers) and this will be his first dog. Though I'm partial to labs, is there a breed that makes the perfect "family dog"? Or is it all about the dog's parents and how it's raised? I'd be completley open to a mixed dog from the shelter (my grandmother has an aussie mix she adopted and he's great with the kids) but could this be a problem if the parents were agressive or it was abused? I'd love to give a shelter dog a chance at life it would otherwise not have but are they the safest option for family pet?
