We had a Pembroke Corgi, who was the neatest little thing. "Caralon's Pocket Rocket..aka Bunny." Gave her back to her Breeder when I got divorced. Gina has a Papillon now. A very refined, strange little hyper dog with a beautiful head, and a lot of white long hair. She bathes him weekly...takes twice as long as bathing/grooming a GSD.He has a 4 point Major.(It takes 11 male Papillons for a Major in Missouri) I must say he is intelligent, but was poorly socialized as a pup. He was supposed to be for my grandkids to show in Juniors, but he only really loves Gina. I'm sure she will finish him. I have an odd fascination for Smooth Fox Terriers, but will just admire them from ringside. I do love Border Collies, and if I were young, and fit, would love to own one. My son and his wife have a Black and Tan Coonhound,"John Lee Hooker." He sings the Blues. He is a sweet, noble fella, and also very bright.I have enjoyed reading this thread also.
