We used Maple. Nice and hard.
Soft woods pick up too many scratches. Hickory is hard too though - don't know anything about how difficult it is to stain.

Might I suggest rich mohogany? I hear it has a pleasant scent.

Having an inside dog is definitely a problem for any wood floor.

We used Brazilian Walnut. Very durable with kids and pets.

Save yourself some money and trouble and get an engineered wood floor

I did an engineered floor at a previous house. Looked and felt great
