I have always detested the doxie breed. When I was 6, I was playing in the backyard with a group of other kids and the neighbor's doxie bit me on the cheek; unprovoked. I was petrified of small dogs for a long time and to this day prefer real dogs and not the whiny little puff balls that are nothing more than an annoyance. I am particularly fond of the Doberman Pinscher breed or the Rhodesian Ridgeback breed.
