I have been stalking my local animal shelter. I am a bit gunshy as my rotty was with me for 15 years and I do understand the commitment.

Mickey, thought she was a human, she'd watch the deer or the other dogs at the run and stand next to me wondering what all the fuss is about.


Her best friend in the whole world was a tan cocker spaniel that lived upstairs they were inseperable. Like the odd couple, I'll see if i can't dig up one of those pictures.

Thanks for the posts.

I'm really leaning towards a retriever type for my outdoors activities, maybe a retriever/shephard mix.
