And since I didn't know where to post this

I was wondering the same thing. You said you like Retrievers but you don't like Labs and Goldens? Retrievers are so much alike. Flat Coats, Goldens, and Labs have extremely close personalities and Chessies are close as well but are slightly more reserved.

I don't hate them, they are just so common.


Thanks everyone for your input.

I hate it when people say that. Just because a breed is common you'd not consider it for yourself? Labs and Goldens are wonderful dogs. (This isn't directed at you, just in general )

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. Don't get me wrong, I think they're beautiful dogs. I love my roomates Golden, and I love all of the Lab's and Goldens that are on PT. Just out of all of the breeds they wouldn't be my first pick. However, If I was to go to a shelter and fall in love with one, I wouldn't hesitate taking it home. But if I am going to a breeder I want to get a breed I am totally 100% in love with.

I'm with you .powerful! I just can't get past the fact that they have been #1 registered UK ans US for so many years and with like 10,000 more than #2. Also, they are usually reall, "Hello, I love you!" type dogs, and I like a dog who is a pit suspicious of strangers. I said no cocker because first she said medium to large size and cocker s are small/small-medium, they need grooming more often, and they need lots of exersize.

i would think any large breed dog would require a yard, but maybe not.
i think it is good for them so they can run free and frollick
