[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)

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

The only way to ensure that is to adopt an older dog at least 2 or 3 years old. A rescue will approve you, but your breed list includes very popular dogs. I agree that it’s not fair, but the popular breeds often go to families or people with fences in yards. I was in the same boat—no fence and WOH, and found it incredibly frustrating to apply for a dog, go to the adoption event to pick him up, and have a family selected the day of the event instead.

I finally applied for a dog that no one else wanted and he is amazing. Very handsome, low energy, cuddly, and a bladder of steel. Only two accidents in 12 years.

I wouldn’t buy a golden if you’re looking for low energy. [/quote]
