I had a great dog as a child.. her name was Butterscotch. She was a mix of Golden Retriever and Beagle. I was recently looking at the following website, and looked up those breeds... discribes her perfectly. ....Funny thing is though, kinda' sums me up as well
So what breed is closest to your own personality?

Golden Retrievers: The 4 paw guide
Golden Retrievers are everybody's friend! Known for its devotion, loyalty and obedient nature.
Self confident, sensitive, intelligent and infrequent barkers, Golden Retrievers are sporting creatures and yearn for a day in the field. Ignoring its active nature and powerful physique can lead to behaviour problems. Goldens need daily physical and mental exercise. With a tendency to over exuberance and boisterousness - their enthusiasm for everything often distracts it!!
Native to Britain, the breed we know today is attributed to the kennels of Lord Tweedmouth during the 1860's when he combined yellow flat coated dogs with Tweed Water Spaniels and was first exhibited in 1908.
The Retriever is not aggressive in any way, which makes it ideal for training as a guide for the blind.
Beagles: The 4 paw guide
These dogs love to explore the outdoors and is an enthusiastic trailer.
Given sufficient exercise, it is a a calm house dog and makes an excellent children's dog – gentle, incredibly tolerant and always ready to join in a game. It is an independent breed and may run off if a trail beckons, it also barks and howls!!The Beagle is the smallest of the British scent hounds, whose ancestors may be traced to William the Conqueror's arrival in Britain. It was originally smaller and was carried around by hunters in their saddle bags. It was kept almost entirely as a working dog until the 1940's, but is now equally popular as a pet.
The Beagle has soft brown eyes that betray his warm personality but do not reveal his admiral courage and stamina. A truly trustworthy friend can be found in him and he makes a great family pet, as he is always eager to romp and play. Left alone he may howl, but training can alleviate this problem, although he should not be left alone for long periods of time.
