Although I love Sarah, I do not see myself owning another small dog. I've always had large dogs and always done well with them. Small dogs are really difficult for me for some reason.

Also, on the poodle thing...the reason I wouldn't own a poodle is the grooming. I don't think I would like being obligated to drop my dog off at the groomers weekly. I don't see myself owning a dog with a super high maintenance coat. I brush and wash my dogs and take them to the groomer occasionally, but I wouldn't want to have to do it all the time.
