I may have gotten the breed wrong. I was thinking of the type of dog who looks like Benji, if you recall those shaggy dog movies from the 1970s and 80s.
I used to know all the dog breeds, the way most guys would know all the top racing cars.
I knew a lot of the breeds, too. And love the national dog shows on TV. In fact, about the only reason to turn on TV any more :-).
