Exactly my thoughts. I have two, mainly because my first kept bonding with friends' dogs and when she wouldn't see them for a while she would vomit and have loose tummy episodes. It was great taking her everwhere with me. She even went to my son's wedding and was hardly noticed. She was also cheaper to feed, easier to train and had much less impact on the car, house and garden compared to the second one.
The best bits: she loves and dotes on him like a mother hen. She puts him in his place and when he doesn't come when called, she will flush him out of the bushland areas he loves sneaking off in to to find nasty stuff to roll in. She's as quick as whip and he's as slow as a month of wet Sundays lol.

Hodge and Edi - him resisting the beef on his paw was a huge moment for the gourmet eat-a-holic lol
