What a trio you have!!!!!

Great pic. If I ever get out of this lousy city I might give you some competition, but feel it is more than unfair to keep a big and/or "outside" dog cooped up all day in a house.

Thanks for the advice also.

You know, some of the larger breeds actually need less exercise than some of the smaller breeds! And they have the bladder capacity to be in the house all day. Some of the smaller dogs can't make it.

Greyhounds, mastiffs (200 pounds), Goldens, hmmm... mutts with those mixes, might suit you just fine!!!

Some lines of labradors, like the smaller and more "traditional" labrador bred to patiently sit in a duck blind all day, would be happy to sit on the couch all day while you are at work. These dogs are different than some of the lines of big bouncier labs bred by upland bird-dog people.
