No, not the dogs. Dogs are just dogs. The unclassy ones there - and here (really, PP?) - are the humans.

If I was rich, I'd get a dog that looks like a mop. Because I love those dogs, but I have no desire to style my dog's hair. But if I was rich my butler could call the dog hairstylist to come when I was out so I wouldn't have to worry.

Probably, even if I was rich, I would not be classy.

Lol someone got so mad at me when I thought their lagotto romagnolo was a doodle

The classiest dog is a very well-bred dog of almost any breed. Non-classy dogs are shelter dogs, mutts, puppy mill dogs, and backyard bred dogs with health issues and structural problems.

Doodles can be expensive to own. Grooming every 4-6 weeks at ~$100+ per groom.

Duck Tolling Retriever. And they are Canadian (Nova Scotia).

Thank you. I always imagined the dog trolling the ducks (like making fun of them subtly to get them riled up…and then he pounced!). They are very cute dogs. I can’t remember some of the other niche breeds I’ve come across — definitely some where the owner told me “you can only get them in Italy!” Or something like that. I think Bernese used to be sort of a niche rich person dog but then they got really popular in the US so they are everywhere now.

Big purebred dogs in the city say $$$$$ to me, especially if they are difficult breeds (Rotties, Giant Schnauzer, German Shepherds, Dobermans) because they are expensive to purchase, expensive to house (need space and XL everything), expensive to exercise and train (or the owner has the luxury of time to do it), expensive vet bills, expensive grooming, etc.

No, barely anyone has these now and a springer will 100% eat your designer shoes and then chase it with your designer purse.

I’d say Boston terrier, Maltese, Yorkie, maybe pug, if you’re talking a cute little purse dog 🐩 r old lady dog. But I think a lot of rich people actually get big dogs because why not?

I've also observed this. Old money WASPs much more likely to have a Golden Retriever than a Yorkie.

I think that's a cocker? Carlson has or had both springs and cockers.

Yappy purse dogs don't appeal to me at all. Pugs and Bostons are ugly, no offense to those who have them.

Asking about "classiest" anything is the ultimate MC cliche.
