That would be delightful. They're such a lovely breed with great personalities and very intelligent, but the normal sized ones are just too large for my kind of household. I think big dogs need chronically active pet humans and a lot of property to run around on. I could probably handle a mini one though.

No pictures of the mini's as adults.... and 50 pounds isn't very mini!!!!

But yeah, it'd be great. I had a shelter-dog once that looked like a mini-golden retriever... temperamentally he was like one, too.. Very mellow, smart and sweet.

I think he was a spitz/retriever mix. About 20-25 lbs.. Great, great dog.

Ooo... I found some pics.

They are so beautiful, and such expressive eyes.

I'd love to get one again, but I'm not sure I could handle it (emotionally). So, I will get a new dog once those two dogs of my mother decide they want puppies...

I had one growing up... he was a sweet dog, but he was dumb as a post. I'm assuming that's not a breed trait and was just Henry's bad luck.. Poor guy, he really was just ridiculously stupid.

And he had the worst smell... no amount of cleaning or grooming or vet visits could get rid of it. I guess some doggies have naturally bad BO, too.

This is my English Cocker. Her name is Pepper. She's not with us anymore. A sweeter dog you could never meet.

Exceptionally smart too, by the way.

I wish I had some electronic pics of my Sammy... She was a red English Cocker and smart as they get! She was a beauty too, I could have gone to dogshows with her.

the weird part is, she only started to like swimming when she was about 6 years old, before that, she wouldn't touch water unless it was with her tongue in her drinking bowl...

She passed away due to Lyme disease...

hee ! a friend of mine also had one of those growing up, and like yours he was sweet but astoundingly stupid. she would tell us stories about the idiotic things he would do that would make us roll on the floor laughing, but i sure wouldn't want to live with a dog like that, he got into so much trouble !

my parents always had stray dogs of various extractions when i was a kid. one of them was far too smart for anyone's good (i'm quite sure she was capable of taking over the world and plotting mass destruction if she decided to). she was probably some sort of dachsund mix (she looked like a dachsund with long yellow fur like a golden retriever) but we couldn't be sure since we found her running down the street, lost, and nobody ever claimed her. she was like an evil mastermind hiding behind a sweet demeanor ; everybody loved her, but you had to keep an eye on her...

@LadyBlue - so cute!!!

@zelda
Yeah, we had lots of strays in and out of our lives, too. Including Henry the Stupid Spaniel. I think we actually had a border collie/black lab mix even...

The most interesting we ever had was a couple of Australian shepherds, though.... they were the sweetest, most loving... but demonically intelligent and escape artists. They were so funny, though.
