Get a Spaniel instead....
good temps and great for mooching/bushing carnt beat good springer spaniel There not always the easiest to live with though, no off button!
thats true they deff full on type dogs, maybe a border might be better from easier to live with then. and regards money why not get a little x terrier from the local pound be good with your daughter ,and good little mooching dog . Not all borders are calm, I wish they were though
