good luck with the search for the next big dog
i've thought about a golden retriever since we had one when i was growing up. i just can't live with the hair. i don't want a mixed with poodle dog to avoid the hair thing either. maybe a standard poodle. maybe some more terriers like westies and scotties. maybe a hunting dog. i just need a bigger yard and a farm and i'll prob get several more big pups. i want to train german shepards so badly. prob won't get a dog until babies are all done and grown up. my two little ones keep me on my toes. but i do eventually want to train and work with my own bigger dogs.
