Human: I'm thinking about getting a new dog. What kind of dog would be good for my family? Assistant: 
It depends on your family's needs and preferences, but some popular choices for families include small- to medium-sized breeds such as poodles, terriers, and mutts. If you have young children or elderly members in the household, you might want to consider a smaller breed that is easier to manage. Larger breeds like German shepherds and Doberman pinschers can also make great family dogs, depending on how much exercise they require.
