Re: what is best kind of dog for my girl?

I would seriously consider getting a mutt....mixed breed. Pure breds are so over bred that you can't ever guarentee what you will get.

Either way, I wouldn't get a little dog. Get a sturdy dog. Remember, never leave a child alone with a dog.

Also, a dog may percieve an action that a human thinks is non threatening, as a threat. Many children are injured and killed by dogs and the owners of the dogs don't ever see the warning signs.

I could go on and on....but for starters, I'd check with local rescues and foster programs. Fosters are wonderful since they have been with the dog to know it's personality.

Any way around it, good luck!!
