[quote=Anonymous]Totally agree about Poodles. They are great dogs.

We chose an unconventional one - American Eskimo. They were bred to guard and for companionship. They will most definitely bark at anything but can be easily trained to stop when told to stop.

We have miniature and despite being small her bark is loud. They are excellent for alerting you but are not aggressive with anyone.

They are stand-offish with strangers. That’s something I prefer because I don’t really want a dog who has to socialize with every dog in the world. I like to get on with my day and be in charge of our agenda. Which is what they like and need. They must have someone who keeps the lead. They are smart enough to try to quietly usurp you!

They get along great with children, except young ones who might grab and squeeze. They usually get along with cats.

They are highly intelligent and learn fast. They however do not like to be alone. (They will bond with everyone in the family.) And they cannot be put outdoors alone.

The huge coat of fur looks high maintenance but while they need to be brushed twice a week they should only be bathed 2-4 times a year or their skin gets irritated. [/quote]
