You mentioned a beagle in your first post but it hasn't been mentioned much since.
I had two while growing up and they were great. They are especially good with kids. They don't bite,, ever.
They will run and hunt all day but then just lay at your feet at home.
They will bark when they hear something but stop when you tell them.
They are smart but are not the kind of dogs to do 'tricks' for snacks. They are too cool for that.
Anyhow, that's my recommendation. It's hard to go wrong with a beagle.
Good Luck.
