re: Dog Breed Recommendations

The best dog I've ever owned is my golden retriever. Surprisingly, he doesn't really shed. We keep him brushed, which he loves. He has the mildest temper and he goes everywhere my kids do. He doesn't drool and he doesn't stink. The only downside about a retriever, or a lab, is that they like to chew when they're puppies. Keep a bone or toy in front of them and they'll be fine.
