we're thinking about having a dog, do you have advise if yes/no we should get one, and what kind ?

The main difficulty is to find dog that can run up to 10 miles and helping my girlfriend feel safe when jogging in isolated areas, as well as being happy living most of winter inside the house (most running dogs need to spend lot of time outside). Also he will rarely be outside without a leash since it's mandatory everywhere in my area. I figure a medium dog could be the right choice.

I hate barking dogs, we have no experience with training/owning dogs, and we have 3+6 years old kids. Also i really don't want a dog that could wake us up during the night (would hardly consider leaving the dog outside during night even we have the backyard for this).

But the dog will be rarely left alone and i am willing to invests for professional training as well as spending time on this.

we consider:

Labrador retriever is a obvious choice but i heard they need spend lot time outside
Golden retriever maybe ? is that the kind of dog that will cry during night because need so much attention ?
My girlfriend wants a husky, but i am afraid this is not a wise choice for us.

Any advice ? a mix would be certainly a good choice, no need pure race.
