I'm really leaning towards a lab for that reason, the gentleness. I guess I should check the breeders. I was hoping to pick one up at the SPCA to save an animal though. Although purebreeds are rare at shelters here. They get snatched up too quickly for me to have a chance to get one. I have never heard of a lab turning on anyone unless he/she's been abused.
