I never had a friend with one growing up, and never liked them enough to just walk up to one with its owner to say hello. Unlike just about anyone I see on the street with a Rott or Dobie.

Problem solved...[/quote] I have to say, as an unwilling participant in cat ownership, that this is patently false. I can smell their ammonia-laden shitbox from a mile away, regardless of how clean it is. I have owned cats, and they are perfect apartment pets, if you can get used to the ammonia smell, which is suprisingly easy to get used to.

MULLY Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Toy Poodle, man. I know they aren't the most masculine dogs out there but they can't be beat in any area. * Long life span * Extremely smart * Not aggressive * Loyal to the family and protective of kids * Don't shed their hair and if they do it's a fuzzy ball that's easy to pick up. * Don't get that dog smell even if they aren't bathed regularly I've had poodle's in my family my entire life. Along with some of the other breeds that are mentioned on here. I loved all my dogs like they were my kids but honestly, the Poodles have been the best of the bunch. MULLY Here are my babies. The one on the right passed away last August at the ripe old age of 15.

They kind of creep me out. I've owned a lot of dogs, mostly bigger breeds, but I have to agree with Mully. If you want a small dog with young children, toy poodles are good dogs. You don't have to get the poodle cut, and do the ribbons. They don't have to look gay. ( no offense Mully ) I also have a small Beagle ( I think she's classified as 13 inch ) that we've had for about 16 years. Good small dog, but they do shed.

[img]http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2310/pookifo6.jpg[/img][/quote] I wasn't a poodle fan at all (I've had two Rotties) but you can't beat them for smaller house pets. With boys in the house don't go Tiny Toy but you can easily go Toy and be fine. We have two they weigh right around 8 and 9 pounds. They wrestle with my boys just fine. Aren't all yappy, are smart (read:easy to housebreak), and don't shed. Just take em to the groomers once every 2-3 months for a $25 grooming. Also, a miniature Schnauzer I had as a kid - was a pretty good dog. They do get a little nippy. Either would make a great house dog. Either will get yappy if you let them be (especially when doorbell rings, etc.) you just have to have some "slight behavior modification" (Read: pop it in the ass when it does it) and in a couple days they stop that as well. Never been happier than with the Toy Poodles. Also, if taking them on trips with you they can travel damn near anywhere. But, they love to be lap dogs if you'll let em.

My ex wife pampers them to no end. The one in the bottom photo usually looks all mushy and grown out like that. The poodle cut with the ribbons doesn't suit her personality. We only gave her that cut once and that's in that top photo. The other one was real prissy though and she really liked being made up with the bows and the Gene Simmons pony tail on top of her head.

|Bengal Migration| Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I just dropped a line to my ex-neighbor, who had one of the best "little dogs" I can ever remember. Terrific temperment. Not a big barker. Loyal and loveable... I enjoyed taking care of him when my bud was out of town, etc... And it too, was a Beagle mix, it turns out. Beagle with some Corgi. As a *big dog* lover, that basically leaves a Beagle as the only small dog I've come in repeated contact with that I truly like. But, they can be barkers/howlers (neither of the two I know were) and as I mentioned earlier, they need a fence or a leash at all times, or they are prone to following their nose to any damn place imaginable. Though my neighbor's dog was not bad at all about this... eh who knows. That's as much help as I can provide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
