[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is attracting you to the breed, exactly? Looks, the impression that it's intimidating to strangers (even if you get a *nice* one, you get the benefit of it looking scary)? With three kids and no dog experience in the house, there's no reason to pick a breed that you have to thread a needle on finding the better version of that dog than the inappropriate version (guarding, aggression). You should just get a retriever and try to find a breeder with a good record w/r/t cancers. Same size, could be intimidating based on size alone, but famously good tempered and sweet with kids, even the ones that don't live in your house. It will still need training and there will still be a learning curve, but there's no reason to introduce this other element of concern.[/quote] By retriever I mean Golden or Lab, maybe a flat-coat if you stumble on one. Don't get a Chessie (not a starter dog).[/quote]
