We have a Shi-Tzu X Pom mix, he's almost a year old(one more week! LOL) and 'fixed'....he loves kids, and it the best little dog, he was 'saposed' to be 5-7lbs, the breeder called him a tea-cup dog or something like that, but he is a happy 17 lbs! He does shed, but you only need to groom him ever 2 months or so, so its not bad, he was potty trained by 4 months, and knows basic comands, loves kids to death(or anyone who will play with him)....I'd personaly recomend a mix like Taz's(my pup).
Doxies make great pets too. My boyfriend has 2, they both like kids and are fairly calm. Theyre not big either.
Maybe a Bulldog? There calm, loving, loyal, and protective. Pug's, Bosten's, and Maltese's are all great too....my aunt and uncle have the cutest Bosten, he's a lil wild sometimes, but still a great dog. And my Grandpa has a Maltese, he's the sweetest thing, and loves to play.
I'd defenately go with a puppy, you get a tighter bond with the dog that way. And male too. Males temperments generly stay the same, so you don't have to worry about mood swings.
