If you get a puppy that she can grow up with, and a quiet example of a steady breed (NOT a wild girl like mine - my kids are older - 11 and 13 when we got the dog) she ought to be o.k. A nice easygoing couch potato of a Lab, or maybe a Golden?

I think you ladies are right. I had an aunt who raised black labs and one of hers, Hondo, was always my pal. On the other hand my sister had a Papillion, Katrina, who was the bomb. She would walk on her front legs when she tinkled! We will wait a few years and try with Nettie.
