<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

I would have filled out the normal breed questionnaire, but I already have it narrowed down to two breeds. Just looking for some input. 

 

I've been thinking about getting another pup for about a year now and I'll finally be in a place in my life where I can handle the workload of a new puppy. I've always loved labs and would absolutely love to get one. But, from the research I have done and from the labs I have met, I've come to learn that they can be a little dim. This may sound mean, but my current dog is quite dim and I would like a change of pace. I want a dog who is very trainable and has fun doing tricks, playing fetch, etc. 

 

I've done a lot of research on standard poodles and I think they would be a great fit for me. But I'm worried about them being *too* smart (like boarder collie smart). I'm worried that I wouldn't provide enough physical and mental stimulation so the dog would get destructive.

 

I currently have a 2 year old Chihuahua Min Pin mix who is pretty great. I am fairly experienced in raising/training dogs as I have had 3 (two of which I was the main caregiver). I really want a larger breed since I have always liked bigger dogs. I'm looking for a dog that can take it pretty easy throughout the week, but definitely be up for longer walks/hikes/swimming on the weekends. I definitely plan on exercising the dog throughout the week, it just wouldn't be more than 2-3 hours per day. Would either breed (lab or poodle) be ok with this amount of exercise? I also want a dog who generally gets along with other dogs of all sizes (I know this has a lot to do with socialization too). I would love to take my new dog to the dog park for a romp. I can't really do this with my chihuahua currently as she's pretty small and unfamiliar dogs make her nervous. (She's fine with meeting new dogs [as long as it's not more than 2] in places she's familiar with, like home. But she gets nervous when more than 2 dogs are around and she's in an unfamiliar place).
<bot>: Looking for a new dog. I've been researching for a few months and have found that Standard Poodles and Labs to be the best fit for me. What do you guys think- poodle or lab?
