interesting choices but i would not go for a rottweiler.. they are big dogs that require alot of attention and room. And they have problems when they are bigger with their hip joints, aka hip dysplasia, something well known in the mastiff breeds of dogs.
and as mamacita said...the wolf-hybrids...that's a no no unless you know what you're doing and they are not very trust worthy. They can get really territorial.
Pugs = respiratory problems..
bloodhounds...no. my friend had one and spent a lot of money on her because she had ear problems and easily got infected.
foxhounds...they're noisey dogs, and suffer from separation anxiety as puppies.
If you want a decent size dog that's not too big, and not too small...get a doberman!! excellent dogs, very well mannered and they are very protective but not possesive. My friend owns a dobie, and he is like a spoiled baby, but when someone he doesnt know comes a-knocking, man Dale can bark and scare someone good.. lol
another excellent dog is the german shepard. They are awesome with kids, and honestly i prefer them over labs. German shepards first instict is to protect their masters..but they are very laid back. highly trainable and very very obedient. they do need room to move, but its nothing that a morning jogs can't take care of.
