she would rather rescue then buy from a breeder and I would not allow her to buy from the pet store ... lol. so we are keeping an eye on the shelter. Do you know that poodles are one of the hardest dogs to find in our shelters ?? I would have never guessed it but you don't often see a poodle in our shelter. I don't know the reason for it though ? Maybe everyone loves their poodles soooo much that a poodle never needs a home, wouldn't it be nice to be able to say that about all breeds.

She also LOVES chows a chow was her first dog but with all her grand kids she would feel better raising the chow from a puppy but she doesn't want a puppy so she has ruled out nother chow.

A Schnouzer (sp?) is a nice breed to, I never thought of that. They seem so loving and so loyal ??

Great suggestions guys and don't worry when she gets her baby I will take lots of pics to share with you guys.
