Help me choose a dog breed for family pet
I'm on the road quite a bit so I'm looking for a protector but nothing that will eat my 8 year old son. The dog will live inside the house so a breed that's not going to shed too much would be ideal. I want to take it with us in our camping trailer so it can't be too big. I would like a mtn biking and hiking companion too. Is there a breed that will fit these wants? Male or female?
I've had two dogs in my adult life and when they died, I was heartbroken. My Australian Shepherd/Collie mix lived 18 years. My chocolate Lab /Rottweiler mix was hit by a car at age 3. If I can find a breed that has the best traits of both of my old friends, I can learn to love a dog again.
What breed would you recommend?
