Just wanna make sure my kids are up for this and will take up some responsibility, chores, activities with it (he, she) too as the least I want is a neglected or unhappy animal.
I'm thinking either a Boxer or a Viszla
Before ruining my li... erm, getting married, I did have a number of cats (Vladimir, Jasmine, Sam, Pilar, Oscar Ramon (yes I named him that!) and HeathCliff) all of which I keep fond memories of. Maybe it is time for a canine friend although I want to do it the right way and get myself, Paola and the kids all involved and on the same page.

Both the Boxer and Viszla are high energy dogs. A dog that doesn't get it's needs met can be very destructive and undisciplined.
A Dogs needs are in this order according to Caesar Milan, The Dog Whisperer.
1. Exercise
2. Discipline
3. Affection
Dog's are wonderful, we will always have at least one in our household.
