[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has had labs my whole life, I do not recommend a lab for OP. While labs love all family members and are great with kids, they are strong, mischievous, and stay in puppy mode for a good few years. If OP and her family’s experience has been mostly with small to medium dogs, they may not be prepared for the level of mental and physical exercise a lab needs. Way too many labs end up in rescues because people aren’t willing to put in the work they need or didn’t set their expectations appropriately. [/quote]

Yes, exactly. We are not high energy or outdoorsy people who can exercise a dog that big. We did love walking my mom’s dog three times a day and going on short runs. We don’t leave home often but[b] I also want the dog to be able to travel with us easily.[/b] [/quote]

You could go up a fair bit in size and still be able to travel with a dog pretty easily. Most hotels that have a weight limit will allow dogs up to 25 lbs -- that's much bigger than a King Charles. [/quote]
