Thinking of getting a dog...

[Lucky34]

Well, I'm thinking of getting a dog, and I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions... So far, I'm leaning towards a Labrador Retriever.
Here are some rough ideas of what I'm looking for:
Cool-looking, yet cute.
*relatively* small, yet something big enough that I can play with without breaking.
Probably short hair (thinking about how much hair I'll have to vacuum - It'll be mostly and indoor doggy

)
Smart - something easy to train and very obedient.
And a good companion.
Hmmm... I don't know what else. I'm hoping you guys will chime in and name some breeds and/or post some pics of your pooches and what you think of them...

Go to www. dogbreedinfo.com.. there is a questionaire you can do and it will tell you what breeds that fit you. Then go the pounds..you'd be suprised at how many full bred dogs are there.

i could not make my mind up so i got 2 labs...the only down side with them is that they get arthritis (sp?) easily...the black one is about a year and a half old with arthritis.

You eliminated my choice! I'm a Rott fan. Great animals.

Posted up a little over a week ago....I just bought a Beagle pup. We've got 2 of them at home.....great dogs, can take being tossed around a bit without damage, & very loyal. Here's my pup w/remote for scale...

Look into Springer Spaniels. Great companians. Great around kids. Very protective. Very playful. Big enough to chew up an intruder, but small enough to think their a lap dog. Hard to break. The fur might be too long for your taste, but they only shed twice a year.

Lab is a good choice, just don't get one from a puppy mill. (At the store)

Kerry Blue Terrier.

Dad has one, GREAT with the kids, loves to play, very affectionate, DOES NOT SHED.

They are also excellent watch dogs....
