I know this sounds very full of myself but
GET A LAB!!!!

Today's Function: water retrieving, assistance, obedience competition, retriever field trials

History
The original Labradors were all-purpose water dogs originating in Newfoundland, not Labrador. Not only did the breed not originate in Labrador, but it also was not originally called the Labrador retriever. The Newfoundland of the early 1800s came in different sizes, one of which was the "Lesser" or "St. John's" Newfoundland — the earliest incarnation of the Labrador. These dogs — medium-sized black dogs with close hair — not only retrieved game but also retrieved fish, pulled small fishing boats through icy water and helped the fisherman in any task involving swimming. Eventually the breed died out in Newfoundland in large part because of a heavy dog tax. However, a core of Labradors had been taken to England in the early 1800s, and it is from these dogs, along with crosses to other retrievers, that the breed continued. It was also in England that the breed earned its reputation as an extraordinary retriever of upland game. Initially breeders favored black Labs, and culled yellow or chocolate colors. By the early 1900s, the other colors had become acceptable, although still not as widely favored as the blacks. The breed was recognized by the English Kennel Club in 1903 and by the AKC in 1917. The popularity of this breed has grown steadily; it became the most popular breed in America in 1991 and remains so today.
Temperament
Few breeds so richly deserve their popularity as the Labrador retriever. Devoted, obedient and amiable, the Lab is good with children, other dogs and other pets. It will be a calm house dog, playful yard dog and intense field dog, all on the same day. It is eager to please, enjoys learning and excels in obedience. It is a powerful breed that loves to swim and retrieve. It needs daily physical and mental challenges to keep it occupied, however; a bored Lab can get into trouble.
Upkeep
Labradors are active and sociable dogs. They need daily exercise, preferably in the form of retrieving and swimming. Owners with swimming pools either must fence them out or be prepared to share the pool with dog. The Lab coat sheds water easily. It needs weekly brushing to remove dead hair. Although Labs can live outdoors in temperate climates, they are much happier indoors with their family.
I am not trying to stuff your brain, just trying to help
good luck

I don't think the breed matters as much as does the way that you socialize the puppy with the child. You need to search the net and gather info on raising a dog with a child. Learn the do's and dont's that go along with rearing puppies and children together. That will be wayyyyyyyyyyyy more important than the breed that you choose.
Personally, I'd recommend that you visit your local animal shelter and adopt a pup that needs you after you have gathered knowledge on properly raising your pup and your child together.
Best of luck!

Definitely a lab, best family dog ever. I have a lab he is great with my kids my 3 yr old jumps all over him and plays with him all day. He is big enough so that my son does not hurt him . The dog is so gentle with him and loves playing he doesn't growl,snip,jump,no matter what my son does to him.Golden retriever is another great family dog .

Answer 4

West Highland White Terrier...they are really cute, picture Toto from the Wiz' of Oz turned white. They are small enough that they are easy to control and travel with but not so small that you'll step on them! They don't take a lot of grooming, great with kids, love to play but not too energetic! Depending on the parents they may or may not bark and they generally have a great disposition.

Answer 5

With kids the bigger the better.

I have a collie but I would recommend a Lab.

They have the best temperament for kids and usually are good all around pets.

don't overlook the common mutt neither.
