We used to raise and show Quarter Horses. At that time we had Working Dogs: Austrialian Shepherd and a Blue Healer (now AKC calls this dog a Cattle Dog). We used these dogs to work horses and help herd them. Those dogs were very smart and very well trained. I have also owned four Poodles which I bred years ago. And I have owned a Bichon and a Papillon. Working dogs have their place and Toy dogs have their place. When it comes to Toy dogs, I speak from experience when I say the Havanese ranks highest on my list. They are quiet, playful, intelligent, easy to train, responsive, and great with children. They are a pleasure to own.
