Rottweiler. I've had mine for 5 years now and trust her with my life. She is so gentle, even with my 3 year old son. The only time she told him off was when he jumped on her stomach and even then she only growled.

THE TRUTH ABOUT NON FIGHTING DOGS
Temperment
That sly smile, those determined eyes, that unwaning pleasure to please... the mere quality and characteristics of the APBT have evoked more human emotional, rational, and irrational response than any other breed that exists today. By no means are these dogs people-haters or people-eaters. Their natural aggressive tendencies are toward other dogs and animals, not people. However if they are properly socialized they will not even be aggressive with them. These are truly quality companions for quality owners only! The American Pit Bull Terrier is a good-natured, amusing, extremely loyal and affectionate family pet, which is good with children and adults. Almost always obedient, it is always eager to please its master. It is an extremely courageous and intelligent guard dog that is very full of vitality. Highly protective of his owners and the owner's property, it will fight an enemy to the death. It is usually very friendly, but has an uncanny ability to know when it needs to protect and when everything is okay. The American Pit Bull Terrier can be willful and needs a firm hand. They are generally okay with other pets if they are raised with them from puppy hood. For the most part they are very friendly, but not recommended for most people. Excellent with children in the family, they have a high pain tolerance and will happily put up with rough child play. As with any breed, they should not be left alone with unfamiliar children. Originally used as fighting dogs, the powerful American Pit Bull may go for the throat of strange dogs. A minimum of training will produce a tranquil, obedient dog. Socialize very thoroughly when young to combat aggressive tendencies and be sure to keep the dog under control when other dogs are present. It has given outstanding results as a guardian of property, but is at the same time esteemed as a companion dog. When properly trained and socialized, this is a very good dog and a great family companion. Unfortunately, some choose to promote the fighting instinct in the breed, giving it a bad name.

A rescue dog. There are lots to choose from, so you can always find one with a nice attitude. And it's good karma. It makes me feel great to save a them and watch the little person live out its life like it was supposed to before someone dumped it by the side of the road.

you ask for "what type of dog"? I am assuming you are asking what kind of breed?
There have many breeds in our family...Collies, Shepards, Cocker Spaniels, Beagles, St. Bernards.......but the one and only breed that has been the best for us is the loyal and loving Labrador Retriever....these dogs are "true" human friends. I've never had a breed try so hard to be a human, please it's humans, and understand as I have our Labs. I am adopting a Lab mix puppy from a local dog rescue shelter in a few days...as soon as he gets his neutering done. He is mixed w/Australian Shepard....and I believe because of his Lab/Aussie breeding, he will make for one smart puppy.
Adopt-------many shelters have so many varieties of breeds and they CARE for their orphans, so they are humanized and trained sometimes. The doggies I've met just are longing for someone to pick them out and give them a chance.
But my overall Fav breed...... The Lab.
