Ooh get a Dogue! You'll never get another breed Grin I am biased though, pics of mine on profile.

She is a very content dog, as long as she gets a walk she'll just lie and sleep. Loves attention but is happy for you just to be around iukwim? She is only 7 months too so just a big pup.

I have six children and three dogs Grin

It's mostly sometimes a bit chaotic but fab

We have mastiffs, they are huge buggers but they are so gentle and lovely with the kids, they are also great for us because they love to go on long walks with the family, but they don't like too much exercise so they're not bouncing around full of energy. When we try to play fetch with one of them he will chase the ball twice then lay down as of to say all right that's enough now I can't be arsed Grin

All they really want is to be laying down near to one of the family, they are very easily pleased

So I say go for another dog, sounds like it would fit right in, have fun choosing Grin
