I like dogs. 
me too - they were the first species to be domesticated and certain breeds bred because of their behaviors, capabilities, sensory and physical attributes

Which one do you feel are the smartest? And which breed do you think is best around children? 
The Federation Cynologique says there are 337 pure dog breeds so it's hard to know about all of them, but I feel like Labs are best for children/
