That is where I am too - it is either a Lab or a Golden Retriever - usually male because I like a bigger dog. I just can't stand those yapping critters. Reese barks when it is necessary but he's never a nuisance and what can I say? He's fabulous.My dogs have always been mixed breeds. My last dog was a mix between a chow and a lab, and was very faithful to me. He understood people talk and would do mostly anything I ask of him. We enjoyed walks in the woods and along the river banks. He loved trying to catch the waves as they rolled into the shore. I miss him very much. If I ever get another dog I would consider a lab or golden retriever, or another mixed breed. I like the bigger dog breeds, for company, compared to small dogs.
