Whatever breed you choose (and I'd also be inclined to suggest Lab) you must research the line, there can be many variations within a breed depending on how the line was bred. There are big dumb dogs, big smart dogs, big show dogs that won't retrieve a hot dog from a foot away, and field bred dogs that aren't AKC registered that will put AKC FC dogs to shame, all with the same breed on their pedigree.
