My 10yo Puggle sheds enormous amounts of hair. Same with the cat.
Vacuum and washer and drier filters are a task.
We got mom a 10yo mini poodle who was raised right and previously owned by an old lady.
Perfect girl:
Small and portable. No accidents since after the first introductory pee indoors which was quickly corrected. No shedding. Smells nice. Doesn't bark usually but is protective. Loves to frisk and run around and explore with an innocent stupid dog face look, but is actually very smart after a bit of time. Her personality rubbed off on my pup.
Downsides:
Pesky with no sense of barrier when it comes to food and other dogs. Very dependent on human affection and constantly wants to be in the lap. Hair coat grows slowly and pink skin is vulnerable to hot summer sun. Hair grows over eyes. Needs brushing which she loves.
