Get a Weimaraner.......Lovely, gentle, and ultimate companions. Jaeger, a blue longhair, has had kids rolling about him and on him and falling across him his entire life and the worst he does is groan when they accidentally hurt him. Get a shorthair grey and you'll have a clean, velvety caoted hound and your child will see "my doggie" on Sesame Street (Wegman's Weims are regulars--the "dressup dogs")

Seriously, I know we all have our favorites and there are many outstanding breeds and mutts to be found, but had I the money and the place, I'd have a houseful of Weimies!
