I am looking for a dog that is loyal, easy trained and good with children (as my little nephews are often at my house).

Any ideas on what would be the best type of dog for me?

Also, any thoughts on names for my doggie??

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I DO KNOW that a dog is for life...I have been thinking about this for quite a while.
