On the list of unwashed copyeditors that I moderate, we had this
discussion a few days ago. I think the majority (well, not a majority
but the most expressed opinions which were a minority of all expressed
opinions) was in favor of a golden retriever. I'm for a Westie. I have
a very soft spot in my heart for Westies. JRTs are like border collies
-- way too driven if they aren't your thing (and you don't have plenty
of sheep or rats, respectively)
