[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a stuffed dog!  Actually I think it is great to get your kids a dog.  How about a king charles?  Very low key. or a english bull.  tough, loves kids and really lazy.   I would stay away from jack russel, Goldens or labs because they need lots of time.   My little morkie is the easiest dog I have every had.  Mix yorkie and maltese.  Very laid back, loves everyone and can let her self out via a dog door.  We both work but she seems good.  
good luck[/quote]

Actually, a Cavalier King Charles is what we wanted, but so many people here are against us getting a dog that we are having second thoughts.  Is 45 minutes in the yard in the morning, 1 hour walk mid-day, and a walk in the evening enough?[/quote]

It is enough if you get an older, settled dog - say 2yo+.  It is not enough for a puppy.

We adopted a terrier mix from a rescue five years ago.  At the time, she was 2-3yo.  She is a total sweetheart - housebroken, great with the kids, affectionate.  She is playful when it is playtime, but otherwise happy to hang out on the couch and snooze.  She does need to get out three times/day, plus a quick outing before bedtime for a pee.[/quote]
