WOW THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL DOGS!My favorite question, since dogs are not only my hobby but a very very important part of my life.
I didn’t read what others replied, I will just give you my suggestions, two of them: Bernese mountain dog and Landseer E.C.T.
These are both big dogs with long hair, but known by their unbelievable loyalty to family and kids. They will be patient with them and never too tired or lazy to play.

Landseer E.C.T. (careful, this is the whole name, don’t forget the ECT, otherwise it’s black and white newf which is totally different)

For a first dog, I would always recommend a female dog, they are more easy going. But males are also okay, especially from these two species who are of wonderful family-oriented character.
Just, before taking a dog, I’d like you to ask yourselves a couple of questions
If you have all the right answers, and I sure hope you do, then let me say - you are making a wonderful decision to let a dog come in your lives because the more you give to that dog, the more you will receive.
- Can we afford a dog? Not only food, but veterinarian, toys, and stuff…
- Who will take care of the dog’s needs? It’s not just taking it out to pee…you have to have time to comb the hair, play…
- What happens to the dog if we go to vacation?
Oh and if you have any questions, feel free to pm me.
God bless!

Hi All,
Thanks so much for all the suggestions…and the beautiful photos!
There have been many tempting breeds but the one we keep coming back to is the golden retriever.
We have found a golden retriever rescue group who takes in abused dogs (which we do not feel equipped to handle) and also dogs whose owners are no longer able to care for them and reluctantly give them up (this is the kind of dog we are looking for.)
The people who run it are from a golden retriever club and work on a voluntary basis; they do all their own fundraising and meet any shortfall from their own pockets. They are very thorough in their selection process of families and they carefully match dogs to the most suitable owner.
A lady is coming to visit next week to check us, our home and our yard out and discuss which dog might be suitable for a family with three kids and a cat. We are happy to wait for the right dog for us. Hopefully we will soon be posting news of our newest family member!
