We currently have a 10 year old mutt, a 10 month old cat, and a 7 year old son. We are considering getting another dog. What breed to you recommend? We do not have a big yard for it to run and I really do not want to have to groom it a lot. What is you opinion.

We have a purebred pug..his name is Bozlie aka Bozwald! Pugs are very friendly and they don't have it in their genes to bite! Ya you have to clean their wrinkles...but its not an every day thing!

Collies are great with kids, gently and protective. We always had collies when I was a child and we had them with our children.

Well, it sounds to me that you already have plenty to handle. Sorry, but I am not familiar with dogs so I can't help you out here. Good luck with your search.

A loveable mutt from your local shelter! Go to the shelter and tell them what you are looking for and about your family. They can tell you a lot about the animals they have: which ones get along with children; which ones get along with other animals; and which ones need little grooming. Plus you could be saving a life!

Personally I like Puggles. They are really cute, get a little bigger than a pug, but still do not get very big. They are good with children, and love to play. They don't have long hair so there isn't much grooming needed either. So that would be my suggestion.

If you're thinking about a pug, you might consider a "puggle". It's a beagleXpug mix which has a slighty less flat face than the pug, so it makes it a lot less prone to the respiratory problems that pugs tend to get. Also, they don't have as many wrinkles and folds to clean between. You could try the local shelter if you're not set on getting a purebred. They often let/require you bring in your current dog to test them out and make sure that the two get along, and you'd be getting a new dog for a modest fee.
Happy hunting. =)
