I'm a mixed breed lover, having had the two best dogs of my life being a collie/shepherd/St. Bernard mix and a chow/Lab. Both of these dogs seemed to have all of the best traits of their several breeds mixed in.
And having been one of those who swore I would NEVER buy an expensive dog, I am now the proud owner of a registered Maltese pup. Go figure!

But I needed a small dog because of my advancing age, and fell in love with this little fuzz-butt...
