Thanks for the information! I've been having SUCH a difficult time deciding what type of dog to get. I really wanted a German Shepherd, and I thought I had my husband talked into it but he's really not at all happy about the idea. Maybe it's for the best because I don't know for sure if I could handle a dominant dog.

So then I thought a big poodle would be nice - but I can't find one where I live.

Then today I was watching Animal Planet, and they had a show on about greyhounds. They really sound like they'd be nice to have, and there are lots of them available.
