I am SAHM, with two boys age 6 and 4. We live in a townhome with no yard but lots of parks to allow a dog to run. I would like a dog that is active but not too high strung. Any suggestions please.I am willing to take dog for at least three walks a day. I need a dog that does not require a yard to run in and that will be happy with my two boys. Thanks to all who answer.

Toy Poodles i have one and theyre sooooo gentle

german sheperd ... not only a smart dog but will protect. I recently got a 6 week old now 12 weeks and she is so smart and stays by my side all the time. I would also look at the hound breeds.

golden retriever

A Labrador or a Golden Retriever are very good dogs. They are kind, loving, good with children, easy to train, and fun!

try a golden retrieverthey dont bark alot and they are so lovablei had one when i was little and i still have hium cause hes just my favorite pet everi also had a collie there so adorable and playful;

A golden retriever or lab are the best with kids and also very smart. They are not too high strung but need alot of excerise. You would have to be dedicated to walking them every day. But they are the absolute best family dogs and are very loving and patient with kids. I have 2 golden retrievers.

Labs are very good dogs for children. However they need lots of room to run around and play in. I would suggest a small dog. Stay away from the little mexican dogs. They are to timid and will bit easily. Maybe a shitzo. I hope that I helped and Good Luck!

Labrador Retriever!

Labrador retrievers are good with children. I have a five year old daughter though, and we have a mixed breed. She is part huskey and Chow. My daughter just loves her. She is the most gentile dog.
