Sophies Dad.....I think that your latest post may have resulted in the first "argument" on this site and I was sorry to see it happen. I don't feel that saying mean-spirited things about any particular breed serves anyone. The thing that makes this site so delightful is that so many different types of dogs and cats are represented here. The feedback between animal lovers of all kinds is refreshing and is what makes this site a pleasure to visit. No, I do not own a schnauzer but I respect the love that their "people" have for this breed. We are all different.
