How about Clumber Spaniels or Bassett Hounds?

Drool and heavy vet expenses because of allergies and skin problems but both
sweet breeds...

Both are fairly sedentary
breeds, no?

true....lumbering oafy dogs...but cute

Some people in our subdivision have a PBGV (Petit Bassett Griffon
Vendean--spelling may be wrong) and it has to be the calmest dog I've ever
seen. Sits, comes when called, heels beautifully, and doesn't get his
hackles up when our poodle challenges it to play. Know anything about 'em?

Yep...the leading breeder in Michigan lives right behind us...they have
PBGV's and afghan hounds....the PBGV's are really cute but REALLY
expensive...REALLY as in a pet quality puppy is over 1K.....
