[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm considering relenting to a relentless campaign by my children and husband to get a dog. We have cats, which is one of my reasons for not wanting a dog (what if they never get along?), plus the usual concerns about who will walk the dog, clean up the poop etc. My children swear they would walk it, but I don't think they fully understand what it would be like to have to deal with a dog that has to pee at 5:30 a.m.! 
With all that said, can anyone recommend a small-ish, non-shedding, good-natured breed or mix that might fit our situation? [/quote]

How old are you kids?  If under ten, there is no way they will take responsibility.  We have a dog and two cats but, we got the cats when kittens after the dog.  They absolutely love the dog!  You can't pick a dog that likes to chase small animals or herd. [b] But, I think you shouldn't get a dog. [/b]   Tell them when they are adults they can get a dog.  Or they can start a pet sitting business/walk dog service/volunteer with dogs.

If you get a dog, it will be your dog.  Then you will ask us if there is any "positive" re-homing stories.  My dog is my dog.  And I love taking care of her so I only got her when I was ready.[/quote]
