Poodles they're really good with kids...my grandma use to have one that I loaded everywhere with me when I was little, she never would bite or anything, but they're not short hair, they do require grooming. I realize this is a big dog but they're golden retrievers are so good with kids and typically not too costly. If your having trouble then I know my mom did a google search for the dog for me, where she took a survery of what she wanted from a dog, and they told you what kind was best for you.

Don't go with anything that has "teacup" in the name. Most of the time these dogs have major problems down the road like death! They are too small. Anything that is worth $200 is going to have bigger vet bills. If you need a cheap dog go to the pound. Other wise, shih tzu with puppy cut or maltese are good. Chihuahuas are NOT good with kids becuase they are so small. Poodles are good and they don't shed. Puggles are really cool. Hope this helps!

A miniture poodle or a toy poodle depending on how small you want her to be, a peek a poo or even a chiauaua but better swtill go to an animal shelter and look at the dogs. The shelter staff can tell you which will probably stay small. There will probably be some toy poodle mixes for example and you will be spending under $100 and saving a pup or adult dog's life.

get a dog that will not be aggressive to the child. some kids will play rough with a dog, at 2 they don't understand their strength when playing with a dog. peeks are good with kids, but they have lots of hair. jack russels are good dogs, they have very little hair and can be love able if roughed up by a 2 year old. poodles and Chihuahuas will bit if they don't like people. especially a Chihuahua, they can be very moody as they get old. good luck in your search.

Go to the pound or look in the paper, you dont have to spend alot to have a good dog and it doesnt have to be a purebred.
We have two min pins and they are great dogs but I really dont think mine would tolerate small children well so the person who suggested them needs to let you know if they have one.
We also have a mixed breed that is a wonderful dog. Look around you can find great dogs with no fee just be sure they are healthy and have never been abused.

Depending on where you live you can get the perfect dog. A Jack Russell or any of the Terrier breeds would be perfect. If you live in a rural or country area, you can probably find one if you look on the horse or cattle farms.
If your in the city...
I get the feeling your friend is not a Poodle kind of person, but if so ...that would also be a great choice. But they can get really expensive.

You can get a high quality stuffed animal that doesn't shed much..
You could try to find an Italian greyhound for 200.00, but get it health checked because it is very unusual to find one for anywhere near that price.
Chinese Crested (twice this dog breed had members voted as world's ugliest dog) Unusual looking, not easy to find, and costly in most cases.
Mexican Hairless Chihuahua- very tiny, you might find one this price in Texas, but they are not actually hairless, just very very short short hair.
You could get a very high quality stuffed animal for that price and it won't shed and could be good for a person with allergies.

Go to a shelter and find a dog that fits the bill -- and more importantly, that your friend LIKES. It will cost under $200 to adopt this dog.
Good luck.

poodles don't shed...they are small and you may find one for that price somewhere. Pounds sometimes have poodles.
