I'm OK with a 1-2 yr old dog, for sure. My best dog ever was a British Labrador that I got at 2 yrs old. My worst dog is my current British Lab that we got as a 10 week old puppy. He's laid back, manageable, and smart like British Labs ate known to be, but I swear he has "doggie Aspbergers" as the fawker is weird as hell, and doesn't like to be with the family - he's in my daughter's bedroom right now holed up in his crate. He's friendly to every visitor and gets excited when I ask him to go for a walk or out to the farm, but when in the hell have you ever heard of a Labrador that doesn't want to cuddle up with the family?
I should also add that water retrieving is pretty much last on my list.
I'm looking for a well-mannered pet more than a gun dog; though, a dog that has at least some hunting instinct would be nice for the occasional opportunity afield.
