Another twist on the what breed threads...I've picked our last three dogs and my husband gets next pick, so lets hear some breed recommendations for him...
First and foremost, he would like a dog that likes water. Our neighborhood is on a lake and a dog that liked to swim could have alot of fun here....our currents ones don't...
Needs to be reliable off leash (with training of course) for hiking and at the lake.
Playful...he would like a dog that will play ball/frisbee/tug, easy to train and smart enough to learn tricks, but nothing that needs a job to do this time. No plans for anything formal like agility.
Medium energy, no couch potatoes but at the same time there are no joggers in this family...someone is home almost all the time though, so it wouldn't be alone much.
We have two kids, ages 8 and 10, and four other dogs, so dog and kid friendly and cat manageable...we live in a typical suburban neighborhood, so friendly in general.
Size wise, bigger than we have now is ok, but not too big, I'm gonna say under 60 lbs....I know he has a looks preference, but I'm gonna leave that open for now...
