A flat coated retreiver would be my choice. Like this http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://uploa...

We have a flatcoat!

Great temperament, good natured, they love everybody! (children and other dogs included) Ours does bark if someone comes to the door etc but she barks while wagging her tail.

The only slight problem is that they can be a little "exuberant" when young. I guess if they were brought up in a pub environment they might get bored of meeting people and be calmer. Maybe ...
Oh and they do like to try and get a sneaky lick in, maybe not the best when someone's in the middle of eating!

The Flat coats I have met have been absolutely spot on - really obedient without being boring! Lovely dogs would have one in an instant given the chance!
