It would be cruel to subject some of these dogs to the Ohio Valley climate (st bernard, huskie). I think beagles need room to run. I think a basset hound or a lab would be your best bet. I want one too, but we opted for a baby instead. ;)
Leslie- Let's be real here. Molly is the LOUDEST dog I've ever met in my entire life!! And she's a brick. When she stands in front of doors, you have to just wait it out until she decides to move because she's a bulldozer! How much does Molly weigh?
(You can tell-I'm not crazy about Basset Hounds...)
Oh, and the howling...GEEZ! If Leslie and I are talking on the phone when she enters her house, I just have to either tell her to call me back later or pull the phone away from my ear because Molly howls SO loud every time someone walks in the house.
Yeah, and I totally meant to spell "Basset" wrong in the poll...
I definitely have to vote for labradors! My black lab, Emma, is a sweetie. She loves to cuddle and her bark can ward off those pesky door-to-door salesman. If you're thinking of a lab, remember that chocolate labs are notoriously the most hyper (compared to the yellow and black labs). Also, labs are easily trainable! A plus when you are trying to potty-train...
Nikki, my dog is half cocker spaniel/half border collie, and she has been the BEST dog with the best disposition. And, I preface my next statement with I LOVE DOGS, but my last roommate had a beagle, and he was a nightmare. He never did get housebroken, he would bite people, he would dig out...and they howl and bark at everything! Don't do it! ;)
Well, I love my dogs. Her name is Jewels. My parents are keeping her me. She's a hound/german shephard mix and the bested dog ever. I absolutley hate poodles. When I was 3 yrs old, someone gave us their's. It wasn't used to children at all. The day after we got it, I was walking around the porch with hotdog in my hand. I wasn't teasing or anything. She charged me, grabbed the hotdog, scarffed it down and then came back and bit me across the face. Scary. My dad saw what was happening, ran and grabbed the dog by the neck and threw it through the screen door. That dog didn't move a muscle. It knew it better not. Dad put the dog in the car and I've never seen it since...But I really do love dogs.
My next-door-neighbor dogs in high school were the best -- German shorthairs. They were sweet and very easy to train, and were fantastic with my neigbors' kids, who were 4 and 1. They're meant to be hunting dogs which means they point when they see birds or squirrels and it's the cutest thing ever.
I'm 30 years old. My husband and I have 2 amazing sons: Noah Spurgeon and Isaiah Newton. I love Sonic cherry limades, singing and playing guitar, cuddling with my husband first thing in the morning, and salty foods.

Oscar Meyer is the best dog, but Fischer isn't bad.

Nikki,
You know that Basset Hounds are the best dog EVER!! How could ever think differently??
:-)
(Nikki's scared of my Basset, Molly, b/c she makes weird noises)
Leslie-

You know, Nikki, even though Monica and I look Filipino, we're NOT, which means that unlike my fellow Pacific Islanders, I don't eat dogs.
Hamsters, on the other hand... ;)
Shetland sheep dogs are rockin' fo shizzle.
Standard Poodle. The other white meat.
