Hello all! My sweet mini poodle recently died.
Ginger was 14 years old in Jan. and died in March. She was the sweetest dog :angel: (except the times that she was naughty!)
I had her before I got married and before I had a child. Both of which I now have.
We want to get another poodle: a)because we love them, b)because I am allergic to almost all animals. Now that we have a 4 year old son, I'm thinking a bigger dog would be good. DH & I thought a spoo would be great. However, I went to see a 60 lb dog yesterday and was a bit overwhelmed by the size. I've never had a dog that big.
Is there such a thing as a small standard or a big mini? If so, how do we find them? We had been planning to do a rescue, but the more specific we are, the more challenging that will be.
Suggestions? We live in TX.
Thanks in advance.

Edited to say that we weren't planning on a puppy but will go that route if we need to.
