So, did the O.P find a doggie yet?
Ok, here's my take.
Any of the Retrievers will be AWESOME! We have had both Labs and Golden's, while the labs are sturdier, they can also be real blockheads. Nothing a bit of training won't fix though. Golden's will have lots of energy, and need more physical attention, both are pretty far up there. We're I to choose again gotta stick with the Golden's awesome temperament, great with kids and other pets and super easy to train, they also make great watch dogs if trained! All Retrievers shed, LOTS, so, what color you want to sweep/vacuum? LOL
NOW, For the more advanced owner, a Newfie can be a great choice, think of them like a Retriever only way smarter, more adaptable, easier to train, and very loyal! They are also one of the best breeds for very young children very Very protective, and make amazing security dogs! Down sides, they are YUMONGOUS, they drool all over everything, are messy eaters, and they shed endlessly, but, once you get past that, they are simply amazing dogs once you go Newfie, you won't want any other breed!
