What kind of activity level are y'all comfortable with? Not trying to be a jerk but don't get a high energy dog that needs lots of walks and exercise if you're not willing to do it. Just my .02.

West Highland Terriers are cool. Kinda like a big dog in a small dog’s body. I’d definitely own one if I couldn’t have a big dog.

Quoted: My wife and kids want a dog. We have a small backyard. Neighborhood is walkable if armed so I will probably be the only one taking the dog on long walks. Maybe once a day realistically. Hot summers, cold winters in OK. Must be good with kids. Suggestions? Maybe save the money and move? |

Please do NOT get a Shiba Inu. They are assholes.
Yes, we love her dearly, but she is the most conceited, stuck up, holier-than-thou, no desire to please, I deserve better, where's my palace you plebe dog I've every experienced in my life. And I consider us to be very experienced dog owners. She also climbs furniture and the largest cat tree, and usually naps on the back top of the sofa on only the freshest laundered blanket. My wife says "dog hardware running cat software".

My suggestion as well. Plus if you live in a neighborhood that is only walkable if armed it’s a great deterrent too.

Female German Shepherd. Standard American working line. Doesn't need a big back yard. Only barks for certain reasons. Home and family protective. Small child and cat friendly too. Smart and loyal. You've seen "I Am Legend", right?

Probably a German shepherd. Even if there are other equally capable dogs nothing has the immediately recognizable look of a GSD. |

Pit bull reference on page one.
Our "black lab" (staffordshire terrier mix) is ~55 pounds. Great temperament with the kids. Compact guy, easy to transport in car, good around the house, minimal shedding, etc. Never barks. |

For the kids? Pitbull, if money for dog food gets tight no problem
On a serious note labs, goldens, and Aussies are all great options. Aussies are a lot of fun and high energy, super smart, and kids have a blast playing catch and frisbee with them. |
