[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 287670, member: 135"] Well, I'll be 62 my next birthday and I have 2 big dogs that I run and walk with. If you're healthy, don't expect to become a couch potato just because you have your 60th birthday. As far as small dogs go, I've had a toy poodle; she would have been a wonderful dog for somebody who wanted a quiet dog but they do have upkeep as they need grooming regularly. The best dog I ever owned was a cockapoo; no problems there. And I had a part bichon, part poodle that was a wonderful dog too. I'd look at the pound as well; you can get a pretty good idea of what you're getting if you are careful and talk to the people in charge. Usually they give you lots of information as they want their dogs to be adopted out to suitable homes. As a rule, terriers are a little hyper so I might stay away from them and you do need to take into account the kind of grooming a dog will need; that can run into time and lots of money. And if you do it yourself, it can be quite a job. Good luck; I"m sure you'll find the right one. [/QUOTE]
