Somethingshiny- From reading your posts I''m not sure if you want a family dog (pet) or a working dog. You seem to want a family dog (good with kids) but want to treat it like a working dog (sleep in basement) because that is how you are used to treating dogs. It''s very confusing and it will be confusing to the dog. Honestly, with a 3 year old you are going to want a dog with a reputation for being gentle with children. But most of those dogs want to be with people and would be sad to spend a lot of time alone. Now I realize you are only planning on having him sleep alone, but based on your other comments it doesn''t seem like you will want to treat your dog like part of the family (not his mother).
Your posts really sound like you don''t really like dogs at all. The comment about stinky dogs. When is it the dog''s fault he stinks instead of the owner who isn''t grooming him? It seems like you don''t really like dogs but want your son to. Unfortunately if you don''t model affection for a dog your son probably isn''t going to be affectionate either.
