What Is the Best Breed of Dog to Buy for My Children to Stay OUTSIDE?

Question by lady31: What is the best breed of dog to buy for my children to stay OUTSIDE?
We have 12 acres and a fenced in yard. My daughter is 10 and has autism. My son is 7 and very active. I’ve never really wanted a pet, but for my kids, I am willing to do my very best with an animal.

What would you suggest? I am thinking of surprising them for Christmas. Also, what “supplies” do you need to buy?
Thanks in advance.
Perhaps I should not get a dog. I am not an animal person by any means. I live in SC where the weather is usually nice. I was thinking in terms of the children want a pet and not all of the work involved. I was thinking that the kids could play with the god outside. I cannot tolerate animals in the house, but I am willing to try to learn.

Pets are not good Christmas presents.

Dogs are pack animals and shouldn’t be kept outside by themselves, with only a couple of hours of interaction with people on any given day. They should live indoors, with their family, and be part of the family pack.

Don’t doom a dog to life as a “furry lawn ornament”.

In all honesty, if the dog is to be kept outside, and you are only doing it for the kids, don’t. It won’t be socialized enough to be part of the family, and Lack of socialization can cause aggression. It would be more of a danger to your children than a favor.
