Pheebs if thats your dog in your avvy he is a gorgeous looking dog. Thanks! It's actually a girl.. We love her so much. She's the beefiest, tankiest looking Boxer X so we had to find a girly name for her so went with "Maggie". We adopted her from the Lost Dogs Home in January of last year Well she is beautiful. What a gorgeous mix.

You missed a rottweiler in there. LOL I see 5 in your sig

Just cos im being nosey and interested and cos i want to know So what kind do you have and how many

Thanks i might just head on over. Dont have a dog yet but am wanting to get as much info as i can before we decide to.

Oh wow there is so much. Sorry i know it proberly sounded like a silly question.

So what activities do your dogs do. What is out there for dogs to do.

Thanks everyone YOu have al been so very helpful ( and confusing ) This wont be a decision that will be made lightly thats for sure. So i really appreciate all your opinions.

Cant all dogs be naughty when puppies when they get bored. Well i wuold of thought so

I have a 9 almost 10 yo and then a 3 lmost 4 yo, a 2.5 yo and a 1 yo

Anything beyond "puppyhood". I'd be inclined to say 2-3 years and up. for a lab i'd say, generally 4-5 years. Our last lab was 10 before he lost his puppy-like zest Thanks. Im thinking though that the puppy stage would be good for them to get used to kids as not all dogs are subject to being around kids am i right. Sorry about all the Q's just trying to work out whats the best breed and all that.

what ages are classified as mature age in dogs?

Ok to sound like a complete dumbass. What is a GSP?

there is something about greyhounds that kinda creep me out. Weird i know but hey what can i say Have you met any? If not I would highly recommend you contact a local Greyhound rescue like GAP and go out to meet some of the dogs, once you meet a greyhound that "creepiness" goes away and they really grow on you. no i havent

THanks for all the replys guys. i can tell im going to love this place. Im already finding it super helpful.

Exercise- Nothing to over the top. An hour a day. so no dogs that need a couple f hours a day. as my hubby works in melb so will only be able to walk once maybe occasionly twice a day I dont want anything with a long coat as there is a good chance there wont e much time for long extended grooming .

We are potentially looking to get a dog or 2. We have 4 children and potentially thinking about having a coulpe more. my question is what kind of breeds would you recommend for a family with a few kids. I had a quick google earlier and it came up with the likes of boxers, labs ( family friendly). Any more suggestions would be appreciated
