Well, I'm not a big dog type of gal

but my friend has a Labradoodle and it is as big as a lab but with hair similar to a poodle . It doesn't shed and is a BIG dog ! My dh always wanted a French Bulldog or a Boxer , but the biggest I could do would be a Frenchie
My SIL always wanted a Newfoundland , they are
BIG and have lots of hair but I have always heard they were wonderful dogs.
