One of my dogs is yellow lab. Lovable girl. Even tempered but also protective. But be forwarned if interested in a lab; they shed bad. Invest in a good vacuum cleaner. You're gonna use it alot!

I would have to vote for the Boxer! We have had 4 of them over the years and currenty have one that a couple of years ago spent over $3000 to have orthopedic surgery on her leg! They are wonderful with familes because they have great energy. But any animal whether a pure bred or mutt are worthy of love and kindness.

I have a chocolate and black Lab and they are the best for families. I have young grandchildren and they are great. I recommend them highly.
