This is awesome - thanks to everyone for your responses. REALLY appreciated a lot of info!
I can understand the concern about people just jumping into pet adoption due to quarantine; this is definitely not a spur of the moment decision. We have talked about it for a while and we wanted to wait until our youngest (and last) was two years old as we know that taking on a puppy is kind of like taking on a new baby initially with training, etc. Who knows, perhaps the quarantine made us think even more about it but this has been a while in the making.
LOTS of good info on huskies; I probably romanticized them a bit and after the information here and some other research I think we'll stay away from huskies. They are beautiful but might not be the right fit.
I ended up putting out a bunch of feelers to some different friends all over the region and long story short, we should be the proud owners of a new labrador puppy this Thursday! We are excited to welcome Iggy to our family.
You all have wonderful dogs and photos; this thread goes right with the positive coronavirus thread as stuff that brightens up my day.
Thanks for all your help!!! I'll update with a photo when appropriate.
