Des Plaines river? We might be neighbors . I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago. If you don't want to post about it, that's okay. Just wanted to say hi.

And to not hijack your thread, AV, I agree with Fayerody. Pay close attention to which dog comes to you and then make your decision. Our knucklehead of a puppy came running up to my husband like a goofball when we were looking for a dog. We just love her to pieces and she's so much fun! Good luck!
