[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

well, i really would be afraid to comment on the sexual conitation,
i mean really!  on the serious side, when i was interviewed by the
guide dog's field rep, i stated to him that although i'm medium
height, i keep getting these gigantic dogs, like 26 &1/2 inches.
why can't i get a 24 to 26 inch animal?  i also mentioned that it
was really refreshing to me afterhaving a roughty go getter like my
second dog to have a mellow evenly paced dog like my dog, Madchen.
He told me that the schools have a dog type known as "hard core".
he said that i really need a mellow dog but he could see why
schools accidently assumed that i would be matched with a "hard
core" dog.

the schools say there is no difference between males & females,
(dogs willy) in terms of personalities.    i know this will spark
negative comments, but in my opinion, females are usually more
mellow than male dogs, "generally".
