I have a lab and cocker spaniel, the lab tolerates being ridden, pulling, pulling better than the cocker. He's also not as rough with the kids. The cocker is less intimidating than the lab though. Both do well with children, but the lab has more patience.
have you tried looking at oodle.com, formerly facebook marketplace? They always have puppies on there.
I got both of my dogs from 4H projects...I think.
Do your research though, otherwise you'll end up like me having the two worst breeds for ear infections.
