I was always brought up with a dog in the house when i was 6months old mum and dad got a springer spaniel puppy we grew up together. He was the softest lump of a dog and would let me and my sisters do anything to him! He never bit or snapped or growled at us let my pet rabbit bully him etc..was my best friend until he died at 16 years old used to tell him all my secrets (he never told)
I now have a 10 month old daughter and a 5 year old chocolate lab which we got from balmore (got her before i found out i was pregnant) and she will let my daughter do anything to her pull her ears, tail, scream in her ears pull herself up on her crawl all over her etc but she is scared of other people not in "her" family
so i suppose you need to think hard on whether you really want a dog or not and to choose a gentle laid back anything goes type of breed not something highly strung or snappy
Good luck
take your time in deciding!
