I'm a newbie here, both to Mumsnet and dog ownership... Have been thinking about getting a puppy and doing lots of research, but still unsure about breed. We love labradors and golden retrievers but a bit worried that they are too big for our house (which isn't tiny but has lots of smallish rooms and is on 3 levels) and car (VW Tiguan - can't get a very big cage in the boot). But we live in the country, have a decent garden and walk to school every day, so exercise isn't a problem. We want a breed which is very family friendly (obviously, I guess...!) and relatively easy to train. Can anyone recommend a breed?
The other thing I'm feeling confused about is pedigree vs not. We're not bothered about showing the dog but do want a degree of certainty about the health and character of the dog.
