I didn't say there was anything wrong with them. I was just asking Plei and meaniehead Kat what they liked about them.

Being dogs is a good place to start. They work with that well.
Generally, yes.
A neighbor of mine has a giant sized poodle (bigger than his lab) that's been mercifully spared the poodle cut. He neither jumps and slobbers on me nor yips and snarls like other neighbors' dogs, so he's all right in my book.
I did find out that instead of barking ceaselessly at me, the formerly feral beagle just eyed me warily and then ran when I was in my Burger King costume.

Smart dog.
The one family I know with a standard poodle is totally devoted to the breed. They're on their second standard poodle (only the second in 30 years, so even with a 5-year mourning period in between dogs, clearly not a delicate, fast-fading canine flower) and will probably never own anything else.

stinkystinkystinky dogs! i heartily don't recommend them.
Are you sure it's definitely the dogs themselves, and not your bosses' ability to care for them? Granted, I've only met two CKCs, but both of them were extremely affectionate and all over my face and hands with the licking and nuzzling and rolling around for scritches, and both were noticeably un-stinky -- even practically climbing into my nostrils, they barely smelled like anything at all, let alone dogstink.
And, yeah, I have allergies, but they're not, alas, so strong as to block out dog. English and French bulldogs, I'm looking at you. While holding my nose.

one of the bosses doesn't take care of the dog the way he should, but the other two dogs get baths regularly. they seem to stink the worst after they've been taken outside and have been running around getting hot, which is why i think they sweat.

We met a French Bulldog and a French Bulldog puppy on the way to breakfast this morning. Pretty freaking cute. Also a very young, but past puppyhood, Beagle. Also very sweet.
Experts say that the standard poodle is the best family dog to have, hands down. Smarter than Labs, less apt to jump and easier with small kids.
Plus, they don't shed.
No offense to any other breeds or cross-breeds, however. Puggles look cute.

Eventually, we will have one.
They're the only dog I like as much as I like cats, and I want Lillian to understand that not all dogs are annoying little yapfests like her paternal grandparents' freaking Westie.
