In the coming weeks we will be looking towards getting a dog from the pound. Generally speaking we will be looking for something that is very kid friendly and not to high maintenance; what breeds should we be looking at?

Having not owned a dog in many years we are aware that the traditional dog collar has been replaced with a brace type setup, what brands are people using, and what types/styles should we be looking for?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
