Which dog suits me and my family?

any terrier, will do mate ;-) you can also easily get a larger breed of dog. they adapt to any living space, as long as you give it plenty of excercise my advice, get a mix. it brings out the best of both breeds and they have less physical problems that the purebreds tend to have ranging from, eyesight, back problems, hip problems, or, like pugs for example, breathing problems. also Keep in mind the smaller the dog, the longer it will live, it all depends on how long you want to have a friend. personally im looking into getting an african grey parrot , they have the personality of a 5 year old child, they live for 50-70 years, theyre excellent talkers, extremly high IQs possibly the smartest of all the bird species, they have a vocabulary of up to 2,000 words, and can understand & use human language. actualy if you wanted to, you could have a conversation with it, as it learns very quickly and you can teach them tricks. and theyre not known screechers like larger macaws, or atoos (atoos have a flocking call wich can be heard from up to 3 miles away. perfect if you live in the middle of no where no neighbors lol. or Burglar alarm XD,
