well, my wife seems to think we should go down to the pound and just find a really mellow mutt to get, but I really want a young puppy that hasn't had any real human interaction yet, because as>>180473said, thats the time that they learn how to treat humans and other animals the most. I really dislike beagels, as growing up my friend had one that was extremely mean. I'll look into goldens and labs, but I remember hearing somewhere that they are extremely stupid dogs due to the massive breeding for them to be show dogs. Is this true or just something I heard somewhere?
Also to all the people saying that the way dogs behave depends 100% on how you raise them, that is true for the most part, but certain breeds do have natural instincts towards preying on other small mammals, and certain breeds do have characteristics that are very hard to surpress, such as an australian shepard's tendency to herd other animals through niping at them.
Also, what is /an/s opinion of brazilian mastiffs? i've read that they are extremely loyal and bond very well with other animals, although their use as a fighting dog does deter me a bit...
