You didn't ask about cats, but I'm dying for a persian/himalayan. I've found a Persian Rescue in San Antonio and I'm contacting them the second I can have another cat.

Funny, I was just introduced to this breed over the Thanksgiving weekend :canada: My brother and his wife just moved into their new house, (west of Toronto in the country), and their next door neighbors have just started breeding Barbet! He was just telling me how they've flown all over the world to buy breeding stock... I guess from what my brother was telling me, their numbers are dropping, something like only 1000 Barbet dogs left in the world!! Very cute, kinda looks like a cross between a PWD and a Poodle!!

I want one now too!!

Wow, those are quite cute! The do look a bit like small PWDs.

I noticed Giant Schnauzer came up quite a bit. Does anyone have any personal experience w/ them? I've always been drawn to them, but I've heard they're very energetic and have a high prey drive. I looked at a GS rescue website that said, "they will kill your cat!" That pretty much put them on the back burner for me, even though I'm sure it's an exaggeration. I really had it narrowed down to a Standard Poodle or GS if I got another large dog, but choose the spoo b/c they're smaller and their temperments seem more compatible w/ multipet households.
