My suggestion would be a small female Labrador from field lines
We went that route with the last dog we had. She was a great dog in all respects, but the shedding was more that I wanted to do again. Unless you've had a Lab and are ready for that, you'll have no idea the level of hair you will be picking up in your house. That was the only downside with the breed.
That's the reason we went with a Pudelpointer this time.
