Thanks for the recs....I'll have to look more into Beagles, I have always been afraid of the hound temperament, but they do seem like a good fit.
Papillons have always been on my list, I was a little concerned that they would get bored at two hour events like my current ones do...I rotate bringing them to soccer games and practices and they are always excited to go, but pace relentlessly once we get there and I usually end up having to walk them around.
My concern with Whippets is prey drive...my cats are indoor and I think I could manage that, but the website I looked at mentioned jumping and climbing out of fences...I have a four foot picket that could be a problem.
Italian greyhounds...I looked at those...am I correct in assuming they may be too fragile for a house with kids and rowdy dogs?
