Default what is the most mild mannered breed of dog?

I currently have a 6 month old male rottie, and I want to get another pup. I'm looking for a breed that is excellent with kids, very laid back and mild mannered. The only breed I can think of is a lab.. But they aren't very laid back (most of them are pretty active). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Labs are nice. But a little hyper. I personally think St. Bernard's are the most relaxed dogs out there. They're really sweet dogs.

Great Dane if you like big dogs... Golden Retrievers are great people dogs, but they can be hyper too. For little dogs, Bichon Frise. Standard Poodles are great too, and they look like regular dogs if you don't do the goofy show cut.

Boxers are great with kids. We've always had boxers growing up. Contrary to popular belief it isn't the small dogs that are best with kids. They usually can't tolerate small children at all. My mom has a 5 year old and he lays all over their boxer and the dog doesn't care. She's really gentle. She'd get up and move before she would ever nip or growl at him.

Our labrador became laid back when she became an adult. She's active when she's out of the house but just lies around and follows me where ever I go when she's inside. She's great with little kids, my nephew even uses her as a pillow and she doesn't mind. In my opinion, Labradors are the best.

I would think that a golden retriver would be just what you need.
