As for labradors, avoid chocolate ones. They are like Springer spaniels crossed with a rugby league fly-half and fed on a diet of Skittles and Monster. And all retrievers are thick and hairy paranoid nervous wrecks.
I know a chocolate lab, who is about the biggest sloth known to mankind. He's not fat or something, just content with not giving a fuck.
Also he is scared by his own farts, which is hilarious, until you smell them.
We are looking after one for a fortnight. He's not thick. We look after loads of dogs and on the caninebrainometer he is very near the top. Believe me when I say that from a carer rather than an owner's perspective there are loads of ways a dog can be an everyday pain in the arse. His only shortcoming is a habit of wandering out of sight on a walk - but never for more than a couple of mins. He scores pretty highly on the cuteometer too when he lies on his back and rolls a tennis ball around between his paws.
