[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I’ll dissect. Labs are so easy - yes, a lot of energy but you are an outdoor hiking family. You’ll make it work. This isn’t a breed you’ll need to spend your weekends training. [/quote]

I tentatively agree with this as someone who brought on a new puppy Golden (pre kid elderly Golden before puppy) with 2 under 3 year old kids. It's not just about the dog, kids come first! Sure. But the main thing I think is just accurately accessing your own capacity for caregiving. I read the above and "you'll make it work!" is probably true but only with a commitment.

I agree Labs are decently suited to family life, but I disagree entirely that anyone getting a lab shouldn't enroll them in training, socialize them properly, and do things like Doggy Daycare occasionally. [/quote]

I’m the PP you are quoting. The OP seems VERY responsible. My point is a lab- or similar beeed-will be fine.  Sometimes you’ve got to just do the thing. This family seems well equipped to handle a family friendly dog. [/quote]
