Answer 2

Not a good idea for a few reasons: 1)You run the risk of a genetic defect. 2)Check with the city or county you live in. There might be a law prohibiting you to be a breeder without being licensed. Are you planning on trying to sell these pups or give them away? Do you have enough money to cover the vet bills for all the shots etc...and if there are any complications with the pregnancy money for that too? 3) Morally wrong. There are many perfect animals destroyed that would make great pets but don't get adopted. Please don't add to this burden and ever increasing problem.

Answer 3

A Greyhound from a rescue would be a good option. They are large, but they don't need much exercise. Just one walk a day is sufficient. They are calm, and naturally affectionate. They have few health problems, never bark, and are very loyal. Retired racing greyhounds are easy to find, and transition into life as a pet easily. Greyhounds are generally patient with children and never aggressive. They never have dominance issues, and they are short-haired so their shedding isn't excessive. They are also beautiful, graceful dogs.

Other sight hounds like Borzoi and Whippets are also good options. Their personalities are similar to that of a greyhound. Wikipedia is a good place to search different dog breeds and compare.

Me, in particular I am not all hyped up on getting pure breed dogs because mutts need love too. So whatever kind of dog she gets... get a black one. Did you know the black dogs and puppies are completely overlooked at the pound? At the humane society of Missouri...it is a statistical fact that they are the last ones to be adopted and have to stay longer as last choice puppies. So please consider a black one...I just adopted one myself. He is a 9 mth. boxer mix: weighs about 60 lbs. and is no taller than a coffee table.

Boxer's are naturally playful dogs, great with kids because they have so much energy and live to play. My JoJo loves playing rough and just running around. HE LOVES KIDS.

Answer 5

Take the kids and go to a pound or rescue shelter and let the dog and the kids pick each other. Most mutts are good dogs and not too large.

Answer 6

She should get a Jack Russell Terrier....they are absolutely great with kids, easy to train, and they have a ball of energy.....and they only get to be about 10-12 pounds

They are just great dogs.....I have one myself

Good luck...please let us know what she picks

Answer 7

i tink she should get rot or any other big dog, i got a rot and shes pretty heavy duty. She about 80 or 90 pounds and a fuzzzy dog

Answer 8

A Daschund, perhaps? They are pretty tolerant of young kids, and don't really need a lot of space. Training is necessary, though.

Answer 9

well since u don't have a big yard get a dog that won't run every where maybe like a australien sheperd there very smart dogs there protective and they litsen.

Answer 10

A Lassie Collie, there are great with kids.
