Personally, I love Great Danes (which weren't listed)! Dakota has me hooked. I also am attached to dalmations and labs (my other special girls). However, I don't know your situation so I can't tell you what I would get if I were you. If you have kids, I like labs and goldens because they are so family oriented. Other dogs work too, it's just my experience that I'd choose one of those. So, it depends on what you're looking for. So I'd suggest doing research on the breeds after you decide what you want in the dog!

Hi! We have a male daschund. He is 2 years old and is a regular part of our family. We have three children and "Sholtz" loves them so much! I have several friends who have females of this breed, and they seem really nippy and are apt to bite. Our dog has never been that way. He doesn't bark alot, which is a good thing for us. We do crate him at night, and that is his domain where he likes to retreat to when he is tired. I HIGHLY recommend this breed. We have had many dogs, and this is our favorite by far. Good luck!
