go and check out your local humane society and other animal rescue groups. there are so many dogs to choose from. you can go with your kids and see and play with the dogs and hopefully give one a new and loving home.

There is this one type of dog that doesn't actually bark it is called a Besenji. But research the dog HEAVILY before actually getting one. Although they may not bark, they make noise in different ways.

Pugs fulfill all of what you have said. They are small, do not bark much, and are extremely attached to their owners, particularly children. In fact they become so attached, they become depressed if you leave them alone. They love to play with children, and just love to be around with them. You would hardly hear them bark.

Small dogs bark a lot. There is only one breed of dog that doesn't bark and that is the Basenji. They can't bark. You can train any dog to bark less, but you can't guarantee it. Small dogs have to be carefully considered with small children. They are excitable and easily broken. Are your kids very young? Do they tend to get rough with animals. If they do, your best breed is stuffed. You should research any breed before getting it. Daschounds tend to pee when excited, Chihuahuas get very possessive. Pomeranians have legs that are so delicate they break VERY easily. Cocker Spaniels are the small breed dog MOST likely to bite someone in the family. (Dalmations are the most likely large breed dog.) Different dogs meet different family needs better. http://www.akc.org/future_dog_owner/find_breed.cfm can help you get more information on what type of dog you want. Personally, I'd go with a mutt. They tend to be less inbred and more stable than the highly pampered purebreds.

Consider the following1.) Whippet - (like a small greyhound)2.) Beagal3.) Labrador RetreiverI know the lab is a little larger than the other two but this breed has an excellent rep as a family friendly dog.
