Okay... Here goes. Feel free to correct me if I get something wrong:

Most schools use labs, goldens, and German Shepherds with some schools using 
golden lab crosses, and some don't use German Shepherds. Less common are 
poodles, lab poodle crosses, collies, and a few other breeds. How long a dog 
works depends on the size and breed, with smaller breeds and dogs within a 
breed working longer sometimes. German Shepherds are more likely to have 
health and/or aggression problems and to not eat when on travel or in other 
stressful situations. I think, to date, that the breed with the highest 
success percentage is the labs.

HTH,
Nicole
