I have wanted a st. poodle, I like thier size and intelligence. I never really thought, "I hate xyz breed of dog"...I think I pretty much love them all. But, speaking of learning...I have always had a thing for BIG dogs...no toys for me- I have kitties for that. THEN, I met Cocoa, a little chihuaha, and OH BOY, did I fall for her. I get to babysit her when her family goes away, and she is just adorable. I carry her everywhere, and she loves it. She loves car rides, will walk with me (until she gets tired and looks at me to carry her). I would certainly consider a couple of chewies, after knowing her. I always threaten her family that I am going to steal her from them!!! People look at me strange when I tell them about this special little girl.
