[quote=Anonymous]Though the OP has already ruled out labradors, I'll throw in my 2 cents. I fostered guide dog puppies in high school, one a year for three years, all labs. Sweet, loving, fun dogs-- and incredibly needy, energetic, ornery, and destructive. I had one who would do anything to get dirty underwear, so he could rip them to shreds. One chewed the leg clean off a dining room chair, and damaged several others-- this was while he was on a short tether, as recommended by the guide dog school trainers. My mom stayed at home, and she spent hours a day involved with these dogs, not just training them, but stimulating them and keeping them company. Obviously, it was a great experience. Otherwise we wouldn't have done it three times. But a lab puppy is a full time job, and they keep their puppy personalities for two years, on average.[/quote]
