I want a dog again(had to give up my Husky mix for reasons...D:), but I need a smaller dog this time. I have a 2 year old and a baby coming in March, so need a dog good with kids/babies.

Here are my favorite dogs so you know what I consider cute:
Huskies
Corgis(I would get a Corgi in a heartbeat if they weren't so bad with kids/babies)
Jindo/Shiba

I do like Dachshunds, so I might consider that one. Mini what though? There are mini versions of many different dog breeds.

Beagles, labs, goldens, and australian terriers are all friendly dogs that seem to usually get along well with children

Dachshunds are good dogs but you gotta be careful that kids arent too rough with them, theyve got really delicate hips and backs

Mini dachshund. They're 8-12 pounds and love attention.

Shih Tzu's are cool but the pups are expensive. My parents had one 17 years. Now they have a "Morkie" - a Maltese/Yorkie mix. Supposedly the best of both worlds. 5 months old, getting his nuts cut off next month. Merry Xmas!

I have a shepherd/retriever mix (though he looks like a lab), and he's always been great with kids, and small animals. My American Blue Heeler has also been great with little ones, though he can get scared sometimes. Plus, i don't know what he's mixed with. Both of mine are shelters babies, and I've had them since they were really young.

My sister has a shih Tzu and yorkie. The Yorkies never shut up. And the Shih Tzu has a personality. Both are good, though. Though not sure how good around kids. Would have to ask my grandma. Both are expensive, though...

I think many can be good with kids if trained well, though. It might just take more training, and watching a lot to know if it'll work. Though, I would probably wait until after the child is born. Most animals aren't always the best with new people being added to the family. Though, some of the expensive ones have a waiting list. So, you could get put on one of those...

Shih Tzu's have a ton of personality. Sometimes it's like you're dealing with a small person, much more so than other breeds in my experience. Plus the eyes are so human-like it's scary sometimes.

Those are the little ankle biters right? Then no.

Even the ones I knew that belonged to families with kids, were not good with kids.

No, not ankle biters. You're thinking of chihuahua, pomeranian or most terriers.

Think Weiner dog or small version

Any dog can be good or bad with kids, I believe. It's all in the training... Some may come with a better reputation for being better with kids, or normally have a nature that makes them better with kids. But any can work, provided you give it the love, attention, and training it needs...

Never had a pug but I know quite a few people who have. I hear they are good with kids.

Pugs might just be the best doggos

edit: but if buying/adopting a pug it's important to check for health issues. My pug had relatively deep eyes and an open snoot so never had eye or nose problems.

Yeah there are healthier pugs and then ones that have lots of issues. Avoiding getting one from a private breeder or puppy mill is best. Those poor dogs have been so overbred that most of the ones that are born dont even survive and the ones that do have breathing and teeth problems from their flat snouts and their eyes can pop out of their head.

You can find pugs that arent so tragically overbred though. Or find mixed breeds, Ive got a couple pug/beagle mixes that are both healthy little goobers.

Pugs really are a ruined breed that should be exterminated. Literally bred into cruel physical deformities that cause them nothing but pain.

My best friend has puggles, as well... They had 2, but one past away a little while ago. They were siblings.
