I would steer away from the purebreds simply because of the health issues. They are cute when young and middle aged, but can be a handful if they get genetic arthritis or something 7 years in, on a dog that has a lifespan of appox. 12.

I would recommend picking a breed (yellow lab is a good one) that is the right temperament, and then spending some time looking at the Humane Society in Calgary and surrounding communities for a dog that is a primary mix of the breed that you like.

We recently got a dog for my parents, which is the most docile and friendly dog that I've ever met. Doesn't bark and is great all humans although a little defensive around other dogs. It looks like it's a Tasmanian Devil. No one can figure out what it is.
