> I don't know how to tell you to find what you are looking for, but wanted to tell you we also have a peek-a-poo. He is 19 and still hanging in there although he is pretty much deaf and blind. A friend gave us a pickingnese about a year ago. She felt we needed another little dog because our pick-a-poo has meant so much to us and we have been very surprised he continues to survive. He doesn't appear to be in pain and we keep him pretty much confined to one room and have a small area set up for him outside, because he will still take off running but he bumps into things and we are afraid he will hurt himself.
> Anyway, I wanted to let you know that the pickingnese is also a wonderful little dog and we are enjoying him very much. I highly recommend them both.
