I am happy to see Cocker Spaniel on the list! The type of dog you get depends on your individual circumstances. I, personally, prefer Cocker Spaniels. However, I have had a Golden Retriever and they are excellent dogs as well. Both are good around children. What the heck is a mop dog? lol. Good Luck!

you should go to the Purina (sp?) web site and take their quiz. It will ask you questions about your lifestyle that can help determine what breeds would fit best.
I have 2 greyhounds who are ex-racers. I love them dearly and would have more if I could. I love not having to go thru the puppy phase or deal with irritating barking or yipping. The dogs are well behaved and don't chew, pee in the house, or smell up the house.

Little dogs bark all the time, but they are easier to wash because they're smaller. I guess it's really up to you. Check out the local pound. You could totally fall in love with a dog not on your list.

If by a mop dog you mean a bearded collie, I'd say that. I've had one before and she was the most loveable, cuddly, and loyal dog I've ever seen.
Have fun with you new dog!

mop dog? I think you mean either a puli or a komondor, 2 hungarian herding breeds with dreadlocks
