[QUOTE="jcthorne, post: 12150122, member: 41108"] As quite a number of labs have passed by my wife for training or in association with her animal assisted therapy work, I can make some generalizations on temperment but it really comes down to your desire for a given 'look'. Your and your GF appreciation and love for the dog will have a far greater effect on its personality than broad traits. That said. The smartest, english black labs. No contest. Not just learning but thier cognitive reasoning to 'get it' and do what is needed, not just what is trained. A VERY close second are fox red labs but they are rare. A bit higher energy than blacks and a bit more accepting of 'new' things, but we have only dealt with 3 and own one now. Yellow are a bit more mellow and easy going, less 'driven'. Still smart and very wanting to please thier owner. Chocolates are more outgoing in thier affection but this also translates to hardest to break seperation anxiety. IE they are the most likely to be upset and act out when you leave them alone. Hope this helps a bit. [/QUOTE]
