Got sick of fighting for the alpha position.

I've had a weenie/beagle mix - darling sweet boy, and love all dogs.

I had a Poodle as a young child. Great dog, too.

Now have a Pittie. Not a breed I would've ever chosen, but Mother Nature sent him to me & he's been here about 7 yrs now. And he is a good boy, very protective but pulls so hard it's ridiculous. (Someone online told me they have pulling competitions for this breed and they can pull up to 5,000 lbs. Cripes. LOL)

I suppose at this stage of life, I would like a smallish, rather fluffy, happy pupper of any breed.

How about you?
