Hi Jo jo
WOW! We're both in similar situations here (see my intro at the welcome mat)
My partner and I and our 4 kids are also (finally) getting our first family dog together! Isn't it exciting! I have done alot of research on 'the best dog for our situation' and narrowed it down to a GIANT FLUFFY We are down to 3; Newfoundland, Bernese mountain dog or a St Bernard... they are all FANTASTIC with kids, gentle and sweet.. GREAT family dogs.. you must be aware though that they grow BIG and must not be allowed to become uncontrollable.. some intense early training is a must. This is just our choice though... I have heard that caveliers are also fantastic with kids.. a beautiful sweet little dog.
I am finding this thread really helpful too! bring on the excellent advice guys! I think I will try 'reddi's' link http://us.eukanuba.com/eukanuba/en_US/jsp/...e.jsp?pageID=BS and 'Wingus's' 'petnet link..
and see what result I get! Might get myself to some dog shows too (thanks Persephone)
Have you narrowed down at all? are you after a large or small dog? what ideas do you have? anyways
Good luck with it Jo jo keep us posted... dying to know what you come up with
