I'd rather have this as a comment, not enough points.

The first dog that I got, was a border collie mix with a lab. I was told that each breed has their own average health problem. Mix breeds don't cure it, but it gives a lesser chance of development. Which usually gives a longer health span. With that being said. Keep him/her exercised and eating healthy and they will live longer too!

Another thing I was taught, the darker the inside of the mouth, the smarter your furry friend will be. I want to say this is a myth. But, every dog I've met, that has had a darker inner mouth... Have been real quick learners.

Don't forget that it truly does matter the size of house or yard you have. It should be part of the decision, to the size of animal you want.

Hope this helps a little. I know someone else will leave a better answer and I hope they do. ;)
