How about the Flat-Coated as long as we're talking about retrievers?
For that matter, lefty, what are your thoughts about the Chesapeake Bay Retriever? I know they are supposed to be a good deal tougher and more severe than most of the retriever breeds, which I quite like. There was a male Chesapeake in my neighborhood whom my Tosa ***** Tessa seemed to fancy, but he was rather intimidated by her. He seemed like a nice dog otherwise, more friendly with me than the breed is reputed to be with strangers.
They are supposed to be good natural guard dogs, and they don't carry the stigma that regrettably has attached itself to the bull and molosser breeds.
