My Dog, QT

Is on her cycle and I have a few dogs in the community trying to get after her. There is one stray dog (looks like a Schnauzer), hanging around quite often. I have to take a stick with me in order to walk her nearby. We don't venture too far. I don't want to get my dog "fixed" because she is a pure breed and I have plans to mate her in a year or so. I would recommend this breed to any dog lover. She is smart, affectionate and has a pleasing disposition; very friendly and entertaining.
