So tell us what you think is cute. Bet they are cuter than you!

No/minimal shedding.
Relatively easy to train.
No loud barking.
Doesn’t seem to be prone to major health issues.
On the smaller side (no massive poops, okay with a small yard)
Good with kids
Unnecessary to do a ton of grooming


I would really prefer a cuter breed but I think we are stuck with this one.

All of your points can be valid except for the last. They do require a ton of grooming otherwise their hair would be all matted up.

But with grooming we are just talking brushing their hair right? Not regular visits to get it cut?

That one is cute. It’s not a standard.

That, plus sheeple.

No. They need hair cuts, especially in spring/summer.

Haircut every six weeks. They don’t shed so they need haircuts.

No shed and allergies.

I don't care what sort of dog we have or what it looks like, as long as it's low / no shed and low allergy.

Oh my gosh, no—you have to shave it every 6-8 weeks plus frequent brushing at home, or the whole coat is a matted mess.

What makes you think they’re more stupid than the average dog? The ones I know trained pretty easily.

What? I have a mini golden doodle and she is the smartest puppy I’ve ever seen. She learned her commands by the second week home!

Smart =/= biddable (not always, at least). Actually, sometimes the most biddable dogs are the dumbest ones—it’s easier to train a dog that follows commands vs thinks for itself.

Goldens are very biddable. They’ve been bred for generations to not rock the boat.
