Good low maintenence dog?

Home More advice Pets & Animals

I just purchased a home and both my kids (10 and 4 years. old) are desperate for a pet. I love animals but I don't know if I am ready for one. I just put in hardwood floors and I hate to say it but I don't want a dog to scratch them all up as superficial as that may sound. I would prefer a dog b/c my husband is not a cat lover...what breed could I get that is not too big, low maintenance and is excellent with children?
