what is a good small dog to keep in the house for kids that dont shed a lot. we were looking at a Pug. any thoughts or suggestions?

We have a Boykin mid size dog he is great with kids and we keep him clipped so not much hair and he is a duck dog as well.

I grew up with Boston Terriers and always loved them, parents still have one and always will.

I always wanted a jack russel but I cant speak to how much they shed.

Boston Terrier! We have an intact male and he is one of the best dogs I have ever owned. I have three boys from 2-7 and heis very good with them.

Mini doberman!!

Get u a feist and get it to treeing squirrels. Two birds with one stone.

My story is this ^

I have a buddy that has a couple of pugs and they are not my favorite! They have bad nasal problems from what I understand and snore every time they move! Ha I do have a Boston terrier that is one of the smartest and loving dogs I have ever seen.... When raised with children I believe it is a wonderful inside dog... Doesn't shed.... Also my next insider will be a mini schnauzer.....

Mini daschund weenie dog. Hated small dogs until got married and it came with wife.

+ 1 on the miniature weenie. Go with the short hair if you do.

+1 on boston terrier, my in laws have always had them, and we bought one around 4 years ago. He is great with the kids.

we have a miniature schnauzer and they are great inside dogs, really smart, don't shed, generally they are exceptionally healthy, ours is 10 years old and has only been to the vet once and that was because he ate a whole bag of spicy hot doritos

Ive had two mini weenie dog very durable and independent they will do just fine outside if you need to leave them outside never had any back or legs problems those are rumors and they love to get under the covers and snuggle only down side if they see a hole in the ground they go in it. first one was a black and tan second was a piebald both shorthair no problems with shedding
