Laurelin, these dogs don't look like either of the dogs you posted. They have VERY little coat, almost more like Pap type coat, very thin. And they are larger I think than the pics you posted. They would NEVER be seen in a showring. I know the dog was bred by her, and I will be meeting the father eventually, I've seen pics, but can't really tell if he is quite like her or not. I'll talk to her next Friday at class if I get the chance, and get back to you
Dekka, would most whippet breeders (smooth not longhaired) let a dog go to a home where it would be off-leash? I used to dogsit for a couple whippets, so I'm familiar with the breed, but it just seems to me that a rescue or a breeder wouldn't allow them to go to a home where they would be off-leash just because they are sighthounds...
I'm looking into Tollers more now.
*drools profusely*
I had my heart set on a PWD, even had a breeder ready and everything, but they are another breed that I really am just not ready to handle I don't think. They have quite the independent streak and can be stubborn and pushy as well.
Never really thought of a wheaten, but just from them being mentioned on this site it seems like a lot of them have temperment issues. I'll look into them a little more, though the fact that they are a terrier makes me nervous.
Paige, I bet if I did come over and meet your two, one of two things would happen: a) I would spend the whole time concocting plans to smuggle them home with me, or b) I wouldn't be leaving

Portuguese Water Dog?
