Grooming vs Shedding
- Doesn't shed
*******************************************
Keep in mind if you get a dog that does shed you will need to take them to the dog groomers to get them clipped (unless you do it yourself). My brother has a Dalmation and he has black/white dog hair all over his house. Just don't wear black pants if you sit down on his couch.
- Some level of personality (I think only dog lovers can know what I mean here)
**********************************************
Terriers and Poodles get my vote on personality.
- Not too girly looking
************************************************
My favorite dogs are poodles because they are very athletic and intelligent. Believe it or not they were hunting dogs. A dog walker I know has a black standard size poodle (big dog!) and it can chase down deer and 'herd' the deer right to her. When she walks dogs she takes about 5 at a time to the open spaces of Colorado. Sometimes dogs will not want to leave so she has a her poodle trained to chase the other dogs down, grab their collar, and drag them back. This is a VERY IMPRESSIVE DOG.
If you want to be Mr.Macho in front of your friends you can get a pit bull.
