As long as we're all recommending other breeds...
I really love Dutch Hookbills. They're a small breed (4 pounds average), they're old, rare, unique from all other breeds of ducks, and they're the most naturally docile breed I've had so far. They come in Dusky Mallard, White-Bibbed Dusky, and solid White (since you seem to like the White ducks, ChickenChik
). You can read more about them here: http://www.ashtonwaterfowl.net/hook_bill.htm
I have the Dusky and Bibbed varieties:
I also have Stanbridge White ducks - which are basically a solid-white version of the Magpie duck. They're very similar to Pekins, but they're a bit smaller and more "graceful" looking, and mine are friendlier than my Pekin (BUT, my Pekin is an ornery, old, rescued farm duck).
