Huskies. Fluffy and adorable. But suck as guard dogs, but are always glad to see you.

LABRADOR-The Best.Labradors are a well-balanced and versatile breed, adaptable to a wide range of functions as well as making very good pets. As a rule they are not excessively prone to territorialism, pining, insecurity, aggression, destructiveness, hypersensitivity, or other difficult traits which sometimes manifest in a variety of breeds, and as the name suggests, they are excellent retrievers. As an extension of this, they instinctively enjoy holding objects and even hands or arms in their mouths, which they can do with great gentleness. They are also known to have a very soft 'feel' to the mouth, as a result of being bred to retrieve game such as waterfowl. They are prone to chewing objects (though they can be trained out of this behavior). The Labrador Retriever's coat repels water to some extent, thus facilitating the extensive use of the dog in waterfowl hunting.Labradors have a reputation for appetite, and individuals have been described as willing to eat "anything that isn't nailed down."[21] They are also persuasive and persistent in requesting food. For this reason, the Lab owner must carefully control his/her dog's food intake to avoid obesity and its associated health problems (see below).The steady temperament of Labs and their ability to learn make them an ideal breed for search and rescue, detection, and therapy work. Their primary working role continues to be that of a hunting retriever

I have a Rottweiler and he is the best companion when my husband is gone. My husband is gone for several months of the year. So, my rottie is my best friend. He is always by my side. He sleeps in my husband's spot in the best, and he snores just as loudly! He is a great protector and a great source of entertainment. Rotties are so easy to train. They are very eager to please their owners by doing what is asked of them. They are extremely Low maintenance in the grooming department, so that is a plus! Can you tell how much in love with my Rottie I am??

Chocolate Lab. They are goofy and always happy to see you. When you come home after work, they are there at the front door wagging tails eager to greet you. Most Labs are best companions. They are great with kids, too.

Stuffed because you don't have to clean up after them and don't have to get someone to watch them while you go on vacation.
