small friendly dog wanted..

i am looking for a small - medium size dog. has to be child friendly as i have a daughter. i dont work during the day so ill be at home most of the time. my daughter loves cats n dogs so theres no problem there. i live in essex and am willing to travel. email jeriandlee@blueyonder.co.uk

do you have a particular breed in mind...

no i am not fussedwhat breed, as long as the dog aint too big and is good with children

might be a good idea to find a breed that you like then research it .....health probs etc....good luck in your search

Sounds like a future Staffie owner to me Medium sized !!! Good with kids !!!!

Get a bichon frise!

Little dog, no hair shedding (or very little), really loving, not too big and heavy for the kiddy to have cuddles...

All round nice dogs

Add to the list needs constant grooming, likes yapping and peeing in the house!

Only kidding they are nice little pooches really!

Perhaps try a local resuce centre, they have loads of unwanted pooches there. Although it will depend the age of your daughter and also the rescue centres policy on rehoming dogs with kids.

Good luck either way.

Sorry, I don't know much about the breed but I was under the impression that they didn't need as much grooming as most people think. My great aunt had one who was just fantastic, and Takara's best friend is a bichon x

ok - maybe not a bichon!

I agree, a rescue centre would be a good idea, there are of course some dogs that just wouldn't be suitable but with some dogs, the rescue centre is aware of it's history so know if it would be suitable for living with a child. And there are some truly lovely dogs in there!

Lots of Dogs fitting that description in rescue centres all over the Uk Good luck in finding one, when you do lots of Pictures please
