Since my father died in september, me and my mother have decided to get a dog. What we want is something smallish, that is good with kids and doesnt bark like a yorkshire terrier. Just looking for suggestions for good breeds.

Sorry to hear about your loss...
I vote for pug personally... if you can get over the odd noises they make they're delightful animals.
Also you can watch them do seemingly brain damaged things all day and just find amusement in that.

go to petfinder.com and put in your zip code and how big you want the dog and the sex and the age (baby, adult, senior) you want...there's TONS of dogs that need to be adopted. I personally like mix breeds because they're so different. DO NOT go to a pet store.

Go to a shelter or animal league. Odds are good they'll have a dog that'll suit you well.

Daschunds kick all kinds of ass funnily enough my bro has a Dachshund, cost him 300 quid, and it went and got run over. He is still alive and healthy but because of a deformity from a broken leg he cant be shown. Yeah we're going to an animal shelter, but we want to avoid a breed of dog that has a known bad temperament to kids. |

Italian Greyhounds can be nice, they're small, and friendly...but not good if you live in a cold area

Shelters always have great dogs....personally I would like an Alaskian Eskimo dog...they shed a lot but are very friendly
Edit: However they can get big....

Bulldogs are good, calm, and generally lazy but very loving. English bulldog to be a little more specific.

and I know they aren't small (They're medium sized dogs) but Female ChowChows make very good pets and are generally very friendly...though they will bark anytime someone comes to the door and will be very protective...but if you go with a chowchow make sure it's female, the males are alot more aggresive

English bulldog to be a little more specific. yeah, English bulldogs are great, American Bulldogs are too hyper and too big, and French bulldogs are just annoying, but the english bulldogs make great pets...but they can get pretty large (sometimes topping 85lbs) |

Shelties are also very good dogs, they are very pretty (they look like miniature collies), and are playful

So I hope a dog at the shelter got a second chance at life |
