Favorite breed?

I am certainly biased, but Labrador Retrievers will always have a very special place in my heart. My childhood dog passed away nearly 4 years ago and he was a black lab mix. He was sweet, smart, affectionate, and full of personality. I loved that dog so dearly and I have met so many other labs with the same traits as well as very unique personalities. It's important to me that my dog makes me laugh and smile and makes me feel loved. I cared for him, but I feel like he took care of me even more. I miss him so badly!
