If you never trained a dog before I would go with a Lab or a golden Retriever ..... easier to train than a CBR
I would agree with that, if you get a CBR you'll more than likely going to have to train it yourself, that would be an easier task with a lab or golden, and if you needed help from a pro getting a lab or golden avoids CBR issues. I know you have fond memories of a CBR in the past, but don't let that keep you from doing your homework on the breeds.
