It was interesting to read everyone's "confessions." I have to admit before I ever had a poodle I felt the same way. The breed was brought to my attention by a co-worker who had one. The rest is history! I love Pet Talk because I have become much more educated about different breeds, training tips and just the support from other pet owners who "have been there" with some of the same problems that we have all run into that go hand-in-hand with dog ownership. You guys are on my mind more than I had realized. For example, yesterday I passed two schnauzers running in a yard and I thought "there goes a couple of Perry look-alikes!" A couple of weeks ago I saw a baby basset hound in PetsMart and thought of sweet Daisy! Anyway, not to repeat myself, but this is a great site with great people!
