I too am partial to labs esp. mixes. My mom has a Golden mix and a an airedale mix ans they are both wonderful. Bordie Collies are great, high, high energy. I also love Dalmations, but they can be high energy too. I see it Sadie sometimes. I know they are rare, but everything I have read about Chinooks has impressed me (although they are big).

I am not helping am I? I guess i just love all dogs

If I were to get another dog, I would first go look by myself. Once I found one or two that seemed to bond with me, I would take my girls to meet then and make sure that went okay too. That may not be as important if you are thinking of a puppy, but if you are thinking of an older dog, I would let Jo meet the dog first and makesure there are no major issues.

Good luck!
