What is the best breed of dog for an active family to have?
Retreivers and Collies are very energetic breeds and are good family pets, but there are others as well. See this link for more details. All dogs are individuals, so when the time comes to select your new pet, don’t make a hasty decision, try to get to know the personality and the energy level and be sure these are compatible with you and your family. If you are getting a puppy, be aware of the adult size of the breed and that it fits with your living arangements. You should make your selection carefully, with the whole family involved. If any part of the family is against a new pet, the pet will suffer and/or cause family issues. If you make a poor choice for a pet, that creature will suffer or be killed because of your decision. Choose your new family member carefully for life!
