A large dog or a small dog? We have both and I am a bit torn between them but what I do know is that I absolutely have fallen inlove with boxers they are the most incredible dogs so sweet and loving. But my rat terrier is also very sweet they are big dogs in little bodies. But they still have terrier attitude. And like I said I am torn between the two. So I think I will always have two dogs and with any luck maybe get to have a couple more cats in my life. Well soon anyway.
