There are online breed selectors that ask you a bunch of questions and then spit out a list of dogs that fit your criteria. Works good but you might not like the dog you end up getting paired with ie: poodle. Sounds funny but poodles are fantastic dogs, they just look stupid.

I have a blue heeler, not a poodle, but I always said if they made a poodle that didn't look like a gay dog then I'd buy one, real nice dogs otherwise.

I personaly am a huge fan of the Portuguese Water Dog they are hypoallergenic,great with children,obedient,intelligent and most importantly..............a retriever.

This pic is of Diego when he was only 9 weeks old, he will grow to be about 60lbs,a very sturdy size for a hunting dog.
