Labradors are normally a good choice if you have enough room for them.

I bred goldens as a boy - field trial/show champion mix. Wonderful breed - definitely my favorite. Room is an issue for me. I'm not sure I feel right having a large animal in this small a space. Then I have the three cats to consider. Lastly there is the maintenance of a dog - walking and all. Not sure I'm up for it.....yet.

My cousin just got one of those little designer dogs...it weighs only about a pound, and isn't meant to get much bigger...it seems frisky and is very lovable, (and rather catlike)...it's also pad-trained (like a cat) so it doesn't have to be taken out as much as other dogs.

Maybe something like that could be feasible for you?

Golden retriever =/= Labrador retriever. But both great dogs, just the same!

About two years ago I walked past a pet shop that had Labrador/Samoyed cross puppies in the window display. Cuteness factor 10+. It wasn't so much a case of eventually tearing myself away as being displaced by the adoring mob.

As usual, you are correct, but the image in the post to which I was referring is, I believe, of a golden retriever puppy, not a labrador.

Lucky's leg got caught in a trap or something and by the time she got home (3 days later) there were only 2 choices - put her to sleep or amputate. 5 years later she is still gets around really well.
