Jack russels are good dogs, but very yappy. and also very energetic
Corgi's are very good tempered dogs, quite small short hair can get back problems tho...
Just one thing. Get insurance whatever you do

Staffordshire Bull Terrier


Small but well built. Very friendly, good with children. My Dad has kept Staffies for the past 20 years.

Staffies are great dogs.
Soft, but will still rip a burglars leg off if needs be.

The same 'cool' statment could be made about many breeds including staffies which aren't particularly a handsome breed
