Dogs
We bought a Chihuahua (Bruiser) several months ago and quickly discovered that small of a dog is NOT the dog to have around 3 small children. He was always under our feet and the kids did not understand "be gentle".

Last night, Bruiser was staying with my parents while the wife & I are out of town. My dad was taking my kids somewhere and backing out of the garage - Bruiser ran under one of the tires. He was severely hurt - broken leg, internal bleeding, and burst bladder among other things. The vets recommended to put him down - which is what we decided.

My kids loved Bruiser. Too much it seemed at times. So, my wife & I decided to not tell him that he was put down. We are going to tell them that we had to get rid of him because he was so small. But, we are going to get another dog for the house - probably this weekend.

So, my question is, what is a loving type of dog - fairly good sized & tough - to have around kids? A dog they can rough house with without worrying about hurting him and without worrying about him getting defensive and biting. I guess I'm asking what are good kid friendly dogs?

While I can't disagree with this statement, I will say that I was a novice before I owned boxers. I read up on everything I could about the breed. And I watched a lot of The Dog Whisperer.

I know a German Shepherd doesn't fit the qualities you're looking for, but man, I absolutely love that breed. Most loyal family dogs I've ever been around.

They might whine and cry about it initially, but if you make it plain that you feel no sympathy when you ignore them, they should shut up in a few weeks

Reiterating Silock's suggestion, go to a rescue facility that's concerned with matching a dog to your family/living situation. This place, in KC, looks good. You need more of an analysis of a dog's temperament than the pound provides, especially after going 0 for 2 on you last dogs.

The Shepherd mix Flower looks like a fantastic dog.

Here is an invisible fence I just found at homedepot.com. I've never used one before, can anyone give any thoughts on it?

Like I said - don't rely on it for containment.

They have a 10-15 foot 'shock zone' that a dog can simply bolt through if he has the stomach for it. If you're out there with the dog, that will be fine as he's unlikely to get it in his head to try it.

They also can't keep anything out, obviously. So if you're there to make sure nothing's coming into your yard to screw with the dogs, you'll be fine as well.

That looks like a good one if you want to give it a shot. I'd just never be terribly comfortable leaving my dog unsupervised in it.

Good buddy bought that exact model. And both of their dogs just ran right through the damn thing with a little yelp and proceeded to terrorize the neighborhood.

His dogs are a PIA though. But it wasn't effective at all for him.

he is a nice lookin hound. Says no cats, no kids under 18.

Word of caution when dealing with rescues. Many times these people are semi hoarders and just as fractured as any AR nut.
