Just make sure you notice that they switch from USA to CNBC or MSNBC.

I hope you find your perfect dog. I seem to have imperfect dogs find me, and I love them the more for it!

Check out a flat coat retriever. They are the best dogs! Very trainable. All young dogs need lots of exercise to keep healthy and sane. Dogs are all high energy and if they don't get exercise they can develop behavior problems.

I think a golden retriever is a god dog for you. They are calm indoors and if you take them out they will satay calm and not ruin things. They are very easy to train and they are great with children and other people. Also they make good guard dogs.

Also another dog that might be good for you is the rottweiler, doberman, golden doodle( poodle golden mix).

If you look on http://www.petplace.com/ they have list of dog breeds and they characteristics. Also when looking for a dog you can look on petfinder.com and they have pure breed dogs in rescues near you. They have puppies as well as older ones.

Hope you find they dog you are looking for.

You are a perfect client for a puppy mill or breeder! But let me make one thing clear to you, One does not get a dog/pet to fit one's ideals, one gets a dog/cat/horse/bird/meerkat/iguana or whatever because they want to make a difference to another sentient.

I hope you're not one of those who gets a dog and finds yourself unhappy and end up giving the pet to the shelter for adoption.

You can take this quiz to narrow down your choices. You just put in your preferences & lifestyle.
