goldens
a golden would be a great family pet, they are really good around kids. we used to have one when i was little and she was the best! the only thing about them, i would say, is to keep up on the brushing because the long hair will matt if not kept brushed. and huskies definately shed a ton! at work, when one comes in that i have to do, you should see the bathing area after i dry them! there is hair ALL OVER the place. they are double coated, so they shed a lot. anyway, if you have kids i would say get a golden!
