[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So while poodles are smart and don't shed much (good for people with allergies) they're sometimes not too friendly.  Which is why poodle MIXES are often great - you get the best traits of a poodle without the mean part.

I had a cockapoo who was about 14 lbs, hypoallergenic, didn't shed, easily trained and LOVED her family.  Average IQ, but sky high EQ.

I've also met great malti-poos and malteses.

Westies fit your criteria as well.  (I like small, white dogs that are smart, friendly and don't shed.) [/quote]

I have 15 year old twins.  We have a mini golden doodle about 18 lbs.  He is low key and fine being indoors or outdoors.  He sleeps most of the day or is content siting in the window watching the action go by.  There is always someone home so I am not sure how he would do if he were at home alone everyday.  You have to consider that before getting a pet.  They are pack animals and usually follow the caregiver around.  Whomever feeds them and makes sure they are taken care of is the head.  In my house, it is me.  Make sure the kids take responsibility for walking or exercising the dog.  My daughter wanted the dog but she rarely takes him out.  He will lay in her bed all day and sleep if I don't remind her to take him out.[/quote]
