I adopted a border collie 7 years ago and she’s been a blast. She’s good with cats, doesn’t bark at the youngins. Chases the squirrels outta the yard, and raises hell at the Amazon driver and school bus. Shes a great watch dog and loves everyone. They’re also known to have a very large vocabulary

Border collies. Australian cattle dogs, blue healers. They are all super smart but need a good bit of outdoor activity.

I wouldn’t have a herding dog (heeler) around grand kids. They will do their job and “herd” the kids. Including a nip on the leg here and there. At least that’s the experience I had with a blue heeler.
 
From what I've heard a female Lab would fit your needs/wants.

We had a border collie Blue heeler mix when our kids were growing up. She only tried to herd them when they were on their bicycles, lol.

Taught her to bring the paper to the front door from the end of the driveway one day. Next day we had 3 extra papers at the door from the neighbors lol!

I have always chose the runt female of the litter when picking pups. Never had a regret. Now when talking grown dogs I am a pound pup guy. Pound dogs just seem to appreciate the second chance. If I was looking for what you are looking for I would consider a boxer. My Tony (a pound pickup boxer) was the most loyal dog you have ever seen. He was goofy but kept the chickens where they belonged, loved to fetch, and loyal almost to a fault. He would get between me and any night noises, strangers or strange dogs. He was the most gentle soul around children and other animals. Just a great ole farm dog. Had a border collie that was great too, the shaggy hair just made him harder to keep clean. Course my current guard dog is a Yorkie so what do I know.
 
I'd go female, and will myself if we get another dog. Less pack leader/alpha drama I suspect.

Heelers nip at anything. Most of them love the ups man

I had the same experience with an Aussie. Smarter than a 5th grader and lots of personality, but he did NOT like it when the tiny humans ran amok. I'm raising a Golden-Doodle pup now and this little bumble is happy ALL the time about everything. Loves cats, loves other dogs, loves all humans, hates vacuum cleaners, and so far has not chewed anything to death that he wasn't supposed to.

I agree with Tim we've had a number of border collies,great all around dogs but you need to be very selective with them. Blue healers are nippy some wil hurt not bad but enough to make a little one scream. Any dog you get you will have to make sure child knows does and don't with most any dog.
 
Doesn’t eat much

Fertilizes the yard

Loves on them grandkids

Protects them grandkids

Loves to nap too

Great lap dog

Female labradoodle. It sounds like a dumb mix but they are some of the smartest and easiest to train dogs. Tend to be pretty chill.

Absolutely correct. We have one. Probably the best dog we have ever had. Fantastic and gentle with the grandkids. Sleeps in the room with them and is ever vigilant. I believe she thinks they are her own.
 
Females will be more controllable, easier to train, usually more affectionate. Stay away from herding dogs. Their nipping hurts like heck and they are far from good small child dogs. A female lab meets your requirements.

Get a hamster. If you go on vacation a week and leave it food and water then it dies you can put it in a garbage bag. And if you don’t like it, it will be dead in a little over 2 years.
