Brinkley is our first malt.
Growing up we had a dalmation. Sweet dog, but wouldn't have another. I was also allergic to her.
My great-grandparents had a pug, but I was VERY allergic.
My husband's parents had a pug...again very allergic. That dog hated me. Would poop in the floor every time I came to visit.
When we got married, we got a Bassett, my husband wanted one. Sweet dog, but stupid and stubborn...wouldn't have another. Also very allergic.
The Bassett needed a friend, so I got a lab from the Rotary Auction in town...went to a great cause...she was the runt. She is THE BEST! Wish I could shrink her down and put malt hair on her, because I am again...very allergic!!!
Although I am hooked on Brinkley...and totally in love with what I know about Malts-I don't know that I wouldn't want to try another breed like a Shih-Tzu or Yorkie in the future...although I am sure I will have another malt first.
Unless they find some way to breed the malt and lab together....like the poodle and lab...we would have a maltador-or-labramalt! I just LOVE my lab's personality and temperament!!!
