My problem is how to deal with a big dog after him. They are very strong, and we will be in our 70s. We had cats all our married life until a few years ago, and I could spend the rest of my life with cats if it weren't for our bird.
So I'm sorta on the lookout for a small breed with a golden's temperament. Met two Malti-poos yesterday in a golf cart who were totally quiet, friendly, and wagging like crazy at our golden. I could go with the right small dog (or two). I know I could get DH to cave once again.
I don't care about the expense or the hassle. We really enjoy our pets.

Check out the Goldendoodles. They come in small, medium, and large sizes and are truly a wonderful loving dog.
