Dog Health Questions: I need help choosing a breed of dog. Any suggestions?

What I have to have in my dog is:

-it has to be small (e.g. Toy/Terrier)
-hardly sheds
-Is good with kids (i have a baby sister)
-is easy to train because i don't have experience with dog training.
-is good with other dogs.
-isn't a guard dog, but a watch dog.
-and is good with strangers.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
NOTE: I don't really like poodles...

Dog Training Has Many Benefits

• A beagle

• Cocker Spaniel.. Or a Cockapoo....


• maybe you coulde get a labrdoodle. i have one. They are the best with people, love kids, don't shed that much, and they are very playful.


• A BEAGLE SOUNDS PREFECT
  not only are they adorable but:
  they aren't toy but they are a rather small size
  they do not shed very often
  They have a mild temperament
  They are smart so they are easily trained
  They are very sweet dogs and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for them to be a good watch dog due to their intelligence


• A miniature Schnauzer. (sp)
  Dogs that are born with certain hairstyles do not shed, and Schnauzers are one breed. They are usually good with kids,and can be very alert.
  Plus, they're SUPER cute. ^^


• how about a jack russel?


• My dad used to have beagles when he had just became a trainer and he found them easilly distracted and stuborn to train. Although great as family dogs they were sometimes in a world of their own and hard to distract - this was mainly off lead. With good training they changed.
