Leslie is right on this one. Easy to work with, pretty on the eyes
and their hair blends with the colors of the flooring here.
Yellow lab would probably be my second choice. I like the
fluffy hair on a golden better than the short hair though. My
house would probably be less hairy with a lab though.
