i think that website was totally incorrect. they say AST's arent as good with strangers. from what ive heard, there great with strangers. its only SOMETIMES they may not get along with other dogs. i looked on toy poodle (i have one) and most of it was pretty accurate. but they only gave 3 stars (or maybe four, i forget) for getting along with strangers, but my toy poodle mix LOVES strangers. she loves them so much, sometimes i worry she may get stollen. her mom and dad (dad full toy poodle, mom half) love people too. and only 3 for getting along with other dogs. yah right! my dog is afraid of big dogs, other wise she loves ones that are her size. they're right about how poodles bark ALOT
