What breed should I get?

[animal_rescue]

A standard poodle may be a good one.
Or even a Labrador or Golden Retriever.

You may want to try a dog breed selector quiz.

They are not in any way 100% accurate but you can get an idea of the different breeds out there and information about them so you can do further research on them.

I agree with going to a shelter and looking at different dogs.
as was said before, even if a dog is a certain breed there is still no telling what its personality is like.

Unless you are dead set on a puppy I would suggest maybe adopting an adult dog so you alredy know what it's personality is like

I say go look at the animal shelters in your area, and see what they have... Keep us updated, and good luck!
