My daughter has two Brittany Spaniels. *Way* too high strung for my tastes. I've got a field bred Lab. He's 4 years old now and has calmed down quite a bit. If you want to get him stirred up he exhibits some high energy. But he's also content to nap if nothing exciting is going on.
I'd get another one. They tune into their people very well and are eager to please once they learn what you want.
Mine is very upbeat and content with the world. Everything is an adventure to him. He even likes going to the Vet.
Even the Vet commented on his positive, upbeat nature,....said, "He seems like a very happy dog".
