I'm just looking for some advice. I am currently thinking about getting a family dog. I have 3 young children (ages 3,3 and 1) and not sure whether it would be a good idea whilst the children are so young.
I have owned a Labrador before but was thinking about a much smaller house dog. I work 3 days a week and eventually the dog would be left at home for these 3 days (when it is much older).
As I'm not experienced with terriers etc, I would hate to take one on if it was going to be miserable. My children are well behaved and I will also be supervising so I don't think the dog will be pulled at too much.
I'm just looking for opinions from experienced owners to help me make a responsible decision
