I use to think a labrador but I am pretty sold on my english setter. Great personality and great in the field.

I like labs. The problem I have with them, is that I've never met a lab that isn't fat.

Like any breed, it's a good idea to train them. Problem fixed.

Small dogs don’t have brains to be trained imo

There's actually science to back this up. When small dogs were intentionally

We got a mini golden doodle for Christmas and he’s been great. I was dreading getting a dog but he’s been the easiest

Nuke

Yep. Our experience too. I think some are more hyper. Ours has the perfect combo of playful when we want, mostly mellow.

We have one too. A great dog!

They are great dogs but she’d like crazy, that’s why we went with a golden doodle.

We really lucked out with our Australian Shepherd. Very friendly with adults, kids, and other dogs.
