If your going purebred then find a breeder registered with the Canadian Kennel Club. Make sure you meet both parent dogs. You are going to pay big bucks but it is worth it. Never buy a dog from a pet store. I bought 2 Saint Bernard's from pet stores, one lived to be a year and a half before he got a nervous system disease and I had to put him down. The second one went mean as he got older, turned pretty much into Cujo and Saints are one of the most docile breeds. I finally put him down after he was 2 and a half years old after he bit my mom on the arm while she was visiting. My parents also had a purebred Black Lab that was mean as hell so don't assume your going to get a sweet dog. The lab was an adopted dog though so that may have had something to do with it.
