Hi Brad. I hope you won't mind my taking advantage of your obvious
knowledge and experience in this area to ask you a couple of questions
that, Ihope others will be intersted in as well. I'm interested to know
if you think certain breeds of dog are generally speaking, better suited
to certain types of people, such as labs for outgoing people, or maybe
sheperds aren't good with a certain king kind of person or whatever.
Also, have you had any experience that tells you that some breeds are
better suited to certain activity levels, i.e. a lab is better if
theperson is a lot more active, or a lab is generally better if the
person has an office job and only gets out for long walks with the dog
on some evenings and weekends. Or, are there no generalizations at all
that can be made about dog breeds and the best people for them.
