I have had a Lhasa Apso, Shih Tzu, Labrador, GSD, and a Sheltie....now two yorkies and a Biewer...I think my next may be a maltese....or maybe another Biewer.....right now three is enough, but only time will tell...
I prefer small, non shed...My three bigger dogs shed like mad and it drove me crazy...i'm a bit of a neat freak...cant stand clumps of hair everywhere....great dogs, but allergies wont allow me to have a dog that sheds now.
