Shelties are highly intelligent, great with kids and have a great temperament! I know, I was raised with them! They are the best dogs in the world for kids. Very loyal and protective. Easy to train. Just a great all around dog!

Basset Hound!!

A Bichon Frise is an awsome family dog. So good. Easy to care for. Happy all the time good with our kids. Before you get one, mabey look at this breed and see how they are.

I've never known a family that wasn't happy with their sheltie. Not saying the other breeds won't be good, but I've heard lots of good stuff about shelties.

i have had them all and a sheltie will be the best dog of the three for your family.

i have had jack russell terriers for the last 14 years and they totally rock - need alot of attention but they are great!

Sweetheart, I would go along the lines of a shih tzu or a border terrier. Cairns are extremely tempermental, schnauzers are weird with strangers and shelties can be treat aggressive. Take it from someone who's a groomer and been training dogs. Border terriers are small and wonderful with children and so are shih tzus, shih tzus just require more grooming. Boston terriers are great too and dont really require grooming at all. Those are all good family dogs. Ask me anything! Contact me, I can tell you a LOT.

My recommendation would be a Yorkshire Terrier. I am not a pet person; met this one and he's been mine ever since. Incredibly loyal, easy to train, loves to play. Follows me everywhere.

Of those three, most people I know have been happiest with a schnauzer.

Shelties are excellent family dogs and very easy to train.plus they are soooo cute!

I'd recommend the sheltie. They are quite intelligent and protective. At one point my family had a sheltie, a dalmatian and two chihuahuas, and my sister had a stalker. Of the dogs, the sheltie (who at the time was 13 years old) was the one that alerted us of the stalker and stood guard at the door.
