[quote=Anonymous]We have a Cairn-Wheaten terrier mix.  He's adorable and very smart -- also very hypo-allergenic with no shedding.  He's great with our 5 year old.  Major point:  we have a wonderful dog walker/trainer and a great fenced yard and a neighbor with a puppy (ours is 1 year old) to play with.  All of this helps with the high energy level.

We've also had a basset, who was stubborn as they come and simultaneously about the sweetest breed I've ever known.  She was 15 when she left us -- so old when we had DC that I can't comment on interactions with children.  Lot less energy than the terrier mix and a LOT harder to train.

My smartest-and-sweetest-in-one was the mutt rescued from the pound, when I was 18 (so can't speak to how well she would have done with LO's):  *that* was the dog who's crossed the Rainbow Bridge in a way that still makes me cry (dog lovers will know what I mean)

Good luck -- even though this is an older thread it's clear that it's got some new traction :)[/quote]
