Hi..I am new to this forum on  OH, we currently have six cats and one golden retriever...may I join you all?

Horses is one of the main reason for my surgery.  My husband and I train horses for various events and we compete currently in barrel racing and pole bending.  We do reining and pleasure occasionally.  I can't wait to have this done.  I have a mare that is much too powerful for me to keep my weight with her running.  I can't wait till this time next year.    Love to talk with other horse people also. 

My surgery date is Oct 14th 08

After 18 years, my darling toy poodle died in May. I am not sure if I am ready for another dog yet, but I thought I might start doing some research into other breeds.  I love the poodle's personality, but I am tired of so much grooming and clipping.  Yesterday i went to Pets Unlimited and looked at a couple of dogs. I looked at 2 maltese, a dachsun (excuse my attempt to spell these breed names), and bejon frisse X Havanesse. They were cute but I was still looked longingly at the groomer's poodle. Can you recommend some small breeds that have quiet, loving personalities like a poodle? I have heard that the havanesse are very loving companion dogs.

I just love my American Bulldog...or Pit bull as some will call him. I'd like to meet others who are strong advocates for the breed.
