It's all relative sweetie. There are so many variables when it comes to picking a breed of dog. If you want to go the pure bred route, I suggest checking the American Kennel Club web site for pictures and descriptions. I also believe there is an area with references for breeders.
I grew up with terriers. Specifically Kerry Blue and Soft Coated Wheatens. Niether one were that big, and both were fun, sweet, and phenomenal with kids....:)
My fiance and I have a corgi in our condo (well they used to be apartments, but they converted to condos). Our weight limit is only 20 pounds though, so our options were limited.
There's a weight limit on Apartments? Or on Dogs you can have or what?
They dont' want any rottweilors apparently.
A little dog that will bark is probably as much protection as you'll need. But make sure it's a sweet one so it won't bite.
Our dog wasn't too bad, but i was already five when we got him, my three year old nephew has been bitten several timesxD
Jack Russell Terriers are great dogs - both when it comes to personality, people/children and being a guard dog, which is largely because this breed has a Napoleon-complex (It'll attack everything when guarding no matter what size it has, so it is definitely also brave).
I grew up with a Jack Russell Terrier and it is truly a great dog.
