I'm not totally comfortable with "hybrid" breeding, like a Cockapoo or a Labradoodle. I understand the goal, theoretically. For example, the Labradoodle was bred to develop a helper dog with a coat that would be more manageable for a disabled person. I just wonder what we're getting into genetically. I hope it's for good!

Otherwise, I wouldn't say there is any particular breed I don't like. At this point in my life I couldn't have a large dog because I don't have space. But that is more a practical consideration. The Westminster commentator also made the point that there are some dog breeds that need a lot of their person's time and others that need less. And if you don't give the dog your time when you really should, you're going at it wrong. But it would be up to me to make the right breed choice and then obtain proper training.

I'm with Karen on the haircuts poodles get for show. But do I dislike poodles? Can't say for sure, because I've only known one, and he was old and in poor health the whole time I knew him. I don't like dogs that are mistreated and I don't like dogs that don't get the training they need. Other than that ... I don't know.
