I love labs. I like black, yellow, then chocolate. Probably because I have a black labrador and a yellow labrador. I like both slender and the stocky, I kinda have both. Chubby is more stocky(his name doesn't give it away does it?) and Digger is more slender. I would say to get a lab because they adapt well, and I think that they are really good family pets. I would say Goldens next, they are so sweet, and I think they would adapt well too. I hope you find your fit, and keep us updated. Are you planning on getting a dog, or just trying to find what would be best for you? If you are looking for something that would be best for you, make sure that you look at breeds that you might not imagine getting, if you think they would be good in your home. When we were looking for a dog, we wanted a beagle, but we thought that maybe the beagle might run away, and it so sad when pets get stolen/lost/run away. We never thought that we would get a pug, but now we have one, and we love him so much! Who wouldn't love a little dog with a squished face, curled tail, and snorts a lot?
