What breed of dog would you recommend for us?

I am surprised that no one suggested a bull dog, basset hound or bull terrier. They seem to fit the OP's criteria. I also second the Staffie, we had a lovely one many years ago.

I did the quiz and got a Field(springer I assume) spaniel, which is funny because we have a Springer spaniel x Patterdale.

The Eskimaux dog is a very old breed...the ones on the free sites, minis etc are just (stupidly expensive :p) amalgams/cross breeds.

Yes the fashion version are small and cute but are once again typical spitz though small!!! like those funny little Klee Kai's.

The real things are a very old tough breed but a handful (read between the line on that comment) Still fairly rare here though they have been in the country for some time and there is a reason for that big beggars with bags of attitude experienced handler only league! Saw some the other night in Ringwood Forest in the night race I was timing.
 
Another one for staffs too! the bitches should be no bigger than 14" at the shoulder, the dogs 16". Very people focused and bright dogs. Not really a problem with hair as they are so short coated - and there are a lot cropping up in agility classes now. Mine are horse and child proof, mix with all the dogs at the yard (bar the one that beats everything up!) and are great fun. If you are interested, you could try staffie welfare who could advise you on a suitable dog or a reputable rescue where you could meet and greet (and trial) the dog.
