[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If allergies and size are not an issue, golden retriever.   I don't think there's even room for debate on this.  Very trainable and very gentle and loving, less hyper and chewy than labs and spaniels.  (I'm sure someone will post about the one crazy inbred golden they knew .... Of course every breed has its problem children, but if you are generalizing by breed and want good temperament and trainability, it is goldens hands down.). [/quote]

English labs are generally more calm than american field labs.  The great thing about labs and goldens is the soft mouths.  Ours can carry bananas [unpeeled] or crackers, put them down, no marks.  One test for dogs that I like is a toy test.  Do they "kill" it or play with it?  We've had people question where we got toys or wonder if their dog's toy was defective.   [/quote]

Isn't that only a test you can do on older dogs, not puppies? I never really thought about the kill test. My little dog is so sweet with her toys. We just kind of thought she didn't know she should chew them up. [/quote]
