You people and big dogs... what's up with big dogs?!? I have this conversation with my wife all the time...
For the family, get a cocker spaniel
Ours is a little over a year old, VERY SMART. Learned all sorts of stuff in like less than 5 tries. Of course, we got him when he was a pup, so we got to raise him as we wanted. he knows OUR commands. Sure, the standard Sit, Down, Shake but he also knows "SHUT THE FUCK UP" and he can answer questions when you ask him
Knows the difference between "Do you want to go outside?" and "Are you hungry?" and "Are you ready for bed?"
Get a cocker!!!
