What breed of dog would b good for my family and I?

My mom wants to get a pug. I would also like to get a dog but not sure what breed i should get. I plan on exercising them daily and taking care of there every need. I would like a small or medium sized dog. We want to get the puppies around the same time so they can grow up together. I also have 2 guinea pigs, and was wandering how would a dog react to them?

I would get a Beagle. They are great family dogs, a blast to play with, and love everyone. Our dogs get along fine with our cat as well as all other dogs. I have a purebread beagle and also a beagle from a rescue. I never would have thought this before but the rescue beagle is so much more loving and you can tell she really appreciates every bit of attention she gets. I would suggest that you look at an organization like www.bonesbeagles.org they have a lot of great dogs available that need a good home.

Golden retriever may be a bit big to play with a pug!! Cocker Spaniels are mad and very lively but are also Really lovely. Try your local rescue centre (shelter) they always have dogs and pups for re-homing. my last 2 have been med. size X breeds, Both loving, sociable and generally little stars. X-breeds often live longer as well so you could maybe get a dog up to about 18mths-2yrs as it would still grow with your mum's pup. Good luck and enjoy!

cocker-spaniel. you can also refer to aka for breed information and suitable dispositions. wish you many years of love

if u want a dog that will like exercise a pitbull would be the answer because the are naturally strong and they would not react to the guinea pigs at all.

I just got a german shephard pup yesterday, but I used this site to determine what dog would be best for me. It asks you questions like what energy level, short/long hair, temperment, etc... Then it provides you with a list of around ten breeds. Just a useful site if you have no idea what to get.

get a staff or pitbull ive got 4 they dont bother other animals and theyre very caring

Labrador. Lovely natures, easily trained and are not bred to kill but to retrieve so should not be too big a threat to the guinea pigs (although any dog could be). They are generally good in a family because they are not easily upset by change, visitors, lack of routine and all the other imponderables of family life.Our black lab loves kids - couldn't eat a whole one though!Don't consider a terrier - they will enjoy reducing your guinea pigs to their component parts.

Bichon FriseThey are really calm dogs and are considered small dogs. They have a gorgeous coat of fur once fully grown, and if taken proper care of. They are very good with children and other dogs too and I couldn't see them bothering with guinea pigs as well. They are so cute when they are puppies as well.

One of the best dogs that would suit your needs would be a collie. They are very protective of the family they grow up in because it is in their genes to round up and protect. They are also very intelligent dogs and learn from training and their own environment very quickly. We've had them as family pets and they are superb dogs and have an excellent temperament. Good luck.

Look at a Keeshond, they are very gentle and sociable with other dogs and people. They have wonderful coats but do require quite a bit of grooming which mine really enjoys. Check out the Keeshond wed sites.
