This study says that living with humans has taught dogs morality.

I'd be willing to be its actually the other way around.

I'd agree with that!

No way, dogs learned morality from observing the religious rituals of other packs.

Religious rituals? What are those? Butt-sniffing and poop-eating rituals brought dogs morality?

I'd agree with that!

btw - thx for the toy info. I sent it to every dog owner I know!

Seriously, me and Rob have had good experiences with Pit Bull mutts. People tell me bad stories about pure breeds though.

get a husky lab mix... great dogs, and not nearly as much energy as a husky

When I was a kid, we had two different newspapers - a morning paper and an evening paper. My buddy, who delivered for both, and had two HUGE routes, had a husky. In the summer, he would harness her to a wagon and exercise her by having her pull him around the paper route. In winter, he used a sled. He had the nickname "Nanook."

I'll probably be moving to a bigger place with a back yard within the next few months, which reminded me that I'd really like to get a dog. My last dog was a cocker spaniel. She was ok, but not great around kids. I'm looking for a dog that is very friendly, and one that isn't high-maintenance. Also, no rat dogs of any sort. They're of the devil.

Any suggestions?

People like you should not own a dog, I see your type on Pet Patrol all the time.

But, if it is for your kids and you [promise not to kick it, a mutt! Adopt one from the local animal shelter. I have a terrier mix and she loves kids, but chases our cats. My daughter is getting a shibu inu which is also a great dog for kids. Pure breeds have too many problems, hips, eyes, ears. Cockers are terrible, I had one named Roxie and she had everything wrong with her a Cocker could have wrong, skin, breath. I know she picked me for that reason. I loved her anyway! Good luck...when I adopted my terrier I was able to walk her around the store and see how she was around other animals and kids. I went through PetCo. They were great!

all dogs have faults.. its just picking the right combination of pro's and con's that will fit your family.
