pugs are good with kids and I have 2 kids and live in apartment thus the pug. A german sheppard would not be a good look in an apartment. Nor would any other "manly" dogs. WTF? if your measured on how manly u are by the dog you have than for the people that dont have a dog are they gay?
I don't need to worry about getting Pussy - yo I'm married with children- I'm good.
