Don't look at the breed, look at individual dogs... All dogs have different personalities and temperments.. Most of the time breed doesn't matter.
Always meet the dog with entire family. You want to make sure that dog is goign to be the right fit the not just you, but the kids, dogs, etc..
Is your family active? Like to walk, play outside? Go on vacations? Is the family like to hang out inside a lot?
How long do you work? Will the dog be ok for the time its left alone? Do you plan on crate training?
Do you want a puppy? Are you prepared for 2 a.m. potty breaks and puppy cries from 1 a.m. til 7a .m.?? Are you prepared for chewed up sneakers and favorite items? Accidents on the carpet, beds etc...
Do you want a older dog that is housetrained, and settled down?
Are you prepared for vet costs?
Do you want a purebred or mix breed?
Did you know purebreds have high vet bills during the length of their lives? Did you know they are more prone to health diseases and shorter life spans?
There is so many questions that need to be answered, that can help you decide which dogs is best for the family.
If you adopt through a rescue organization, they will help fit your family with the dog that fits your lifestyle. Don't be afraid to ask! Any good rescuer will go through every question with you!!
GOOD LUCK!
Golden Retrievers, Labs, Pugs, Beagles, there are lots of them. I would go to the nearby pound and see which one gets along with your family the best. But that's me...
an english bulldog because they are easy to train, they can be lazy but they can be playful, they have great temperaments...
german Shepherd is a very loyal, loving and protective family dog. Has a great temperment and is easily trained. If you want a small dog, Toy Poodle for the same reasons.
chiuauaua , golden retriever, yorkie, or a beagle all cute playful and is smart
Our family prefers Labs.
Depends on you.
Pick one that has the appropriate personality for the lifestyle you live - how active you are etc. There are some good websites available that will tell you what type of dog you should get according to your preferences (you answer a number of set questions). Animates does one but there are better ones out there. Spend some time googling dog personality test and you should find it.
A Shetland Sheepdog. They're just what you want, I believe.
Boxers!
they may look tough but their really friendly family dogs.

golden retrievers and labradors are up there in the good temperament list .
