If your looking for protection for your kids a German Shepard can make an excellent pet. This breed is very safe to have around your family and can also provide a great deal of protection.
Do you and your family travel allot? If so you may want to have a much smaller dog. Leaving your dog behind isn't an easy thing to do. Smaller dogs are easier to move around in a crate.
Maybe your not all the fond of your family getting a dog? If this is the case you may want to get a dog that tends to be more on the lazier side of things. Bull dogs, for example can make a great pet that spends most if its time out of the way.
