Sounds like besides the size, you're all about personality. I would suggest forgetting about a certain breed for now, and going to a shelter that will match you with the appropriate dog for your lifestyle. You wouldn't want to go and look only at golden retrievers when the furry love of your life could be a small terrier or some kind of mammoth wolfhound creature. You never know. It's like saying you'll only date redheads. It narrows the playing field too much.

Some shelter animals do have behavioral problems, but animals are being given up more frequently now because of financial difficulties and not a lack of love. You could be the home someone was wishing they could just afford to provide for their pet.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
