Border Terrier.They are very good with children and very loyal also small enough to get through a door flap

We'll i have got a Cavalier King Charles {its Ruby}, and personally, i think they make wonderful pets.Good temperament, and very affectionate.If at all possible, go for a Blenhim [is that the right spelling?] because they tend to be less "wild" than their ruby counterparts.

contrary to belief Stafford shire bulls are one of the most loyal and trust worthy dogs around children in my opinion they are ideally suited to family life as long as they are brought up right

too big for a dog flap but with children I would say a Labrador every time

Get a miniature schnauzer - great characters, dont howl, great with people, very adaptable, don't shed etc etc. They live simply to be loved and do everything possible to please.We got Max from Toniks, Charlotte there was great and is a fabulous and caring breeder
