my husband LOVES dogs and we would love to own one once we move out! We've got quite a bit of time before we get to that point but he wants to do research early. Golden Retriever would have been PERFECT for him but he can't deal with knowing how many health issues that breed has and its huge risk of cancer :-(
Personally, there's not a breed I don't like but some traits he is looking for:
athletic or active( could go n hikes/camping but not so active that it needs to be a working dog), friendly, he does not like very long snouts, be able to be in colder climates(we live in MN), easier to train possibly?, also if there are breeds better for emotional support if that makes sense??
I understand there likely isn't a breed that matches this all perfectly,v and the only deal-breaker trait is the health issues. We keep finding breeds that would be perfect and then find out they have huge chances of awful breed hereidty health issues :,-(
