We bought a few acres in the country and are trying to sell our house and move. I promised my kids a dog when (if) we move. I'm thinking lab but would like to hear more about other breeds. Here are my priorities;
1. Must be gentle with my kids (ages 9, 5 and 4)
2. Doesn't bark excessively, especially after dark
3. Barks enough to let us know when someone is nosing around
4. No small dogs, pit bulls or bull mastiffs, something medium sized
We've been thinking chocolate lab but only because I don't know much about other breeds. I personally like boxers and english bulldogs (even though they're on the small side). I think weimaraners are really good looking dogs too. What do all you dog people recommend?
These dogs make absolutely wonderful companions. I can't recommend them highly enough.
