On the hunt for a new family dog after our last one passed. Need one that's good with a mess of kids from 4-16, couple cats. Would go newfie due to the amount of time we spend in/at the water in the summer, but scared it'd heat stroke out in 100 degree weather Been looking at Goldendoodles. Found some for a super reasonable price, Cute as hell, heard they have the disposition of a retriever and intelligence of a poodle. Looking for a 40-150 pound dog that is crazy friendly, highly trainable, loves swimming, and is mid level energy. Want a dog that will always play fetch or go for a swim with us in the lake, but is also content to curl on the couch or air vent and just chill.
