Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. My wife and I have a young daughter (just under 2 years old) and we are reading/researching into pets, mainly dogs because my wife and I are allergic to cat hair and dogs are way nicer and more loyal. We only want the one child and are looking at introducing a dog into the family but are having trouble deciding on the type of dog to get because neither of us have had a dog before. I have bought the e-book "Caring For Your Dog" which has been a tremendous help for learning dog care basics, potential items needed for a dog, caring for dogs going through different stages in life, and even if they unfortunately become disabled. It hasn't help us choose what breed dog to start with though and the dog we get will become a member of our family. Any ideas or suggestions to help us would be appreciated. Background of our family: I am a shift worker and have the potential of working 8, 10, or 12 hour days with working 3 days (longer shift weeks) to 7 days (shorter shift weeks) consecutively. My wife is a full-time homemaker, who loves crafting (sewing and quilting). My daughter loves dogs and other animals in general, in fact her fourth word after "mum", "dada" and "poo" was "dog" and "doggy" which she says whenever she sees a dog. Warm regards, K. Jetts
