[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forgot to add- no rescues ever approve us- cause we have no fence and no experience. Time is ticking. the breeds we have considered are:

Golden Retriever
Bernese Mountain Dog 
Mini golden doodle or mini bernese 
mini bernese
mini golden
Cavalier (but DH and DS aren't into that small)
Cavapoo (also too small for them)

I want low to medium energy and no aggression, and friendly... no pit mixes or anything of the sort.[/quote]

For someone with zero experience I would not get a puppy.  I got one after getting an older dog (2) and it is so much more work.  Just because you get an older dog does not mean they are trained.  Think about it.  Who would train their dog and spend all their time and money and then give it up?  Not very many.

Also, all dogs can be aggressive so don't think that your dog will be immune because they are a lab.    So if I were you I would get an older dog around 2-3 years old and one that has been in a foster so they can tell you their personality.  A lot of rescues do have pit in them but, again not all pits are aggressive.

Can't go wrong with a lab, poodle or golden[/quote]
