These Dog 101 videos are pretty awesome! Thanks for posting them.
Here's the dog I had until I had a baby. Seems to fit your needs nicely, if you're an active person. Maybe 2/3 the size of a Ridgeback, very similar colour, fast as shit, very loving, smart, affectionate, playful, everything you'd want in a dog.
Here's the Dog 101 video:
Caveats would be they're not kidding when they say the dog wants to be with you at all times. If you're at your computer, your dog will be underneath your desk. If you get up, he's coming with you. You'll be tripping over him all the time, and using your knees to keep him out of things.. Like if you're going into the fridge, guess what, he's going with you. ;)
They're awesome looking dogs, when they see something they're interested in their ears perk up like triangles and they pause.. as seen here:
I sent my dog to Mexico with my wife's family when I had a baby because I didn't want to take the risk. They'd found him on the highway when he was ~2, he'd already had a broken and healed paw, big scar on his nose, didn't respond to commands.. Pretty positive he was in a hunting pack and got away. Vizsla's are a popular hunting/bird dog. He'd snap if you went for his food the first time, then think twice about it and let you.. He was territorial, etc. Just couldn't trust him with a baby.
When my kid is a bit bigger I'll get another one, this time from a puppy.
