We have "hopefully" found the right dog. it is a mini. Schnauzer. The puppy's father is either a Cairn Terrier or a Salt and Pepper Mini. Schnauzer. (yes i know, she said that she does not want a terrior, but she loves schnauzers.) She before said that she did not want a dog until spring, but she got so excited when I told her that I found one. My husband and I will be traveling to Danville, Virginia the first week of January to pick it up for her if it works out. The owners of te puppy and I still need to sort some things out before we decide. Thank you everyone for your help. Any suggestions are still accepted as long as your feelings are expressed "nicely" with smiley faces (pun intended)
