What is the best for our family?

Question
This is the first time my family has had an interest in getting a puppy, however my husband and I are arguing over what is best he says a rotwieler, pit, husky.  I say much to mean i would want a cocker spaniel, or something with a better temper.  We also have 4 girls one with severe disabilities.

Answer
"Our daughter was born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocyphalus, Chiari, braces, wheel chair and walker"

First, let me just say that I'm so sorry your daughter has these conditions. I've known a couple of people with spina bifida (one was very severe and she never walked or spoke and passed away just before her 3rd birthday). Since you say your daughter has a walker, I'm assuming she can walk at least a little bit. Have you considered applying for a service dog for her? The dog would already have been taught how to behave around a wheelchair, and may even be able to help steady your daughter should she trip or lose her footing while walking. Service dogs are usually dogs like labs or golden retrievers, but they can be just about any breed of dog. I've seen German shepherds, rottweilers, great danes, pit bulls, mixed breed dogs, and even small dogs like chihuahuas doing service work. For your daughter, I would think a larger breed would be best, because they aren't as easy to trip over or injure. As for which specific breed of dog to get, that's hard to say. I still think you're better off getting an adult dog. If I were you, I would seriously think about going the service dog route, and I would call and visit the rescue groups and shelters in my area to see if they have any dogs that would be a good match. Make sure to take your daughters with you (or at least the disabled one) so that you can make sure the dog will be okay around her. Some dogs are afraid of or unsure around people with disabilities. You'd hate to pick out a dog and get it home and have it be afraid of your daughter, or worse, become aggressive towards her because she is 'different.'

I wish you lots of luck, and please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help you.
