   picking the right dog

   I plan on going to a shelter this weekend to hopefully pick a new dog as a   
   pet.  Our dog died not long ago and we really miss having one around.  We   
   would like to find a dog that is medium to large size, mellow, quiet (not an   
   excessive barker), and (ha!) good with cats and also essentially a good   
   listener, is not high strung so it won't destroy furniture, etc.   
      
   I thought that there had been a website that helped you pick for your "dog   
   personality", but I tried searching to no avail.  You plugged in "mellow,   
   quiet, good with other pets, easily trained, obedient" and other things that   
   you are looking for, and it spit out suggestion for your ideal breeds.   
      
   Anyone know if a site like this still exists?   Our last dog was an English   
   Springer Spaniel, adopted at approx. age 5 and she was just the ideal dog.   
   If we can find another of the same breed we would adopt it in a heartbeat,   
   but if not, we'd like to know what other dogs are good picks.
