So, my older sister is actively looking for a dog to adopt... and I'm helping her... and we would LOVE any suggestions you guys have! I know lots of you are Petfinder addicts (like myself), and I would appreciate links to any dogs you think would fit their situation.
About her and her family; She is 26, and married. She and her husband own a house, with a large yard, and my sister & her husband go running 5+ miles every day, and would take the dog along. They also go to the lake every weekend in warm months, and up to the snow in Tahoe in the winter... so the dog should be fairly adventurous, confident, and trainable. I would consider them moderately active, but not SUPER active. They have two adorable daughters, age 4 and 2. The 4 year-old, Morgan, is probably the smartest, sweetest kid in the whole world. And the 2 year-old, Maddy, has also been raised around my boys and she's very respectful and loving towards dogs. They, of course, WOULD NEVER be left unsupervised with the dog, nor would they tease the dog, but the dog should be easy going around kids and gentle.
The requirements are: a medium/large breed, 1 year+, friendly, medium activity, good with kids & other dogs, house-trained, gentle, and cuuute of course, and in the Sacramento, CA area. Her husband really likes Labs, because he had a Lab mix as a kid, but I don't personally think the breed is the BEST choice for them. My sister also thinks there are better breeds/mixes out there for them, than a Lab.
I was telling my sister about Pet Talk, and she said she would really appreciate any advice or suggestions you guys have! Sooo, feel free to post links to Petfinder dogs or breed suggestions. TIA! : D Here's a picture of my sister, and her 2 year-old, visiting the sand dunes. They are a super cute, happy family.

She's driving me up the wall right now. I thought the puppy zoomies would have disappeared by now!
Those poor pups. They don't even know if the Labby boy has it, or if he's still alive, or what.
