Would a Bracco Italiano be a good fit? The one at crufts this year looked lovely  |

One of the retrievers (Lab/Golden/Flat Coat/Chessie/Duck Toller) I would say. They generally seem to fit your requirements pretty well. |

I think a flatcoat, very intelligent, super friendly, super naughty, but in a nice kind of way, more of a cheeky naughty than a nasty naughty, and they will walk for miles and miles. Something to lower your stress levels Amanda!  Fantastic dogs, I know a couple very well coz my friends have them, but they do all the gundog training with them, but you wouldn't have to they make lovely pets I'm sure. |

Although a gun-dog it has an incredible desire to put its nose down and follow the scent. Given your criteria, any of the medium to larger breeds in that groups would suit.. Shorten your list , on the most important first to the not so important. take looks into account to, it will help with your choice. The only negative I can see is your working full time, but as most people do and if you can adjust life around it, then go for it........... A couple of suggestions.........Labs, GR, Vizsla, either type, IWS, SS, there are so many its hard to come up with one. |

I would have suggested a Lab, but then read that you don't want the ultra friendliness of that breed So how about... a Weimaraner? Certainly clever and should be more 'aloof'? Or an Irish Setter? Alternatively, a Rough Collie? I had one growing up and they can be lovely calm dogs, very 'biddable'! |

I think you might find neither IS nor Weims are "focused on their owner" necessarily................. |

SMOKEY BEAR that's interesting, if one was to raise a Weim from a puppy and do training etc, are they not more a 'one person dog' then? I'm very interested in this breed as I meet a few regularly at a local park, lovely dogs |
