I am more of a cat person than a dog person. My husband really wants to get a dog when our cat dies, but I don't know if I can handle the slobber, smell and mess in my yard. Do you like dogs or cats better?
I am a dog person, makes up so much of who I identify with.
What kind of dog(s) do you have? I grew up with a miniature poodle, and they don't shed...so that was nice, but I don't think I'd want a poodle if I got a dog. 
I have a labradoodle, a mini toy poodle and a Labrador retriever.
That's an interesting mix. Does your labradoodle shed? I've heard someimtes the labrador genes are stronger so they do still shed even though they have poodle in them. 
Some labradoodles are hypoallergenic but not all of them are. 
What made you choose those different breeds of dogs?
When I was a little girl, I saw the dog introduced at the Royal Guide Dogs Associations of Australia in Victoria and have always wanted one.
