Actually we have had Boston Terriers, Cairn Terriers, Boxer's a Golden and now Mini Wire Dachshunds. We have Loved them all, but the GSD is still Number 1. As far as getting smaller dogs as we get older. Remember those Corgis can be quite hefty to put up on the table. Bending over to pick up the tiny dogs can be a challenge just to get back up again. Any in case as Betty Davis said..."Getting old ain't for sissies".
