Labs are the fucking best, hands down. If beagles could swim they might run a close second.
yup... the first dog i remember our family having was a beagle mix of some sort. mostly beagle though and full on male. i remember watching that dog through the window take full on runs to the end of leash till he snapped it and then he was off on his own adventures. my old man had to go get him twice after he'd been hit by cars and once after he fought a shepherd. sadly, one day he never came back but that's how it goes. we all die alone or chasing pussy.
