I hope you won't mind my taking advantage of your obvious knowledge and experience in this area to ask you a couple of questions that, Ihope others will be intersted in as well. I'm interested to know if you think certain breeds of dog are generally speaking, better suited to certain types of people, such as labs for outgoing people, or maybe sheperds aren't good with a certain king kind of person or whatever. Also, have you had any experience that tells you that some breeds are better suited to certain activity levels, i.e. a lab is better if theperson is a lot more active, or a lab is generally better if the person has an office job and only gets out for long walks with the dog on some evenings and weekends. Or, are there no generalizations at all that can be made about dog breeds and the best people for them. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!261!1055.0!Mary.Otten Internet: Mary.Otten@p0.f1055.n261.z1.fidonet.org
