[QUOTE=jblum315;729944]Terriers are cute. They are also very active, quite barky and need a lot of training to make them civilized. If it's a choice, I'd go for the Bichon[/QUOTE

I agree. Every time I see another dog I think I might like next (smaller, less shedding, cheaper to feed, etc.), I ask my long-time Michigan groomer about the breed. She's seen them all, and how they respond to the sometimes stressful situation of being groomed.

She agrees with jblum about terriers. Also says the Wheaton terriers can be just plain strange. (Although I met one at the dog park in Key West who was fantastic.)
