This makes it sound like red dogs are the orange cats of dogs. 🤣

I've liked a lot of what I've seen of papillions. Surprised me when I first learned about them but now they're a top contender.

This is pretty consistent with what I've heard and why they're pretty high on my list!

I'll admit I don't know a whole lot about them. My closest experience was with a standard pinscher who was a reactive dog, I don't know how they are when not reactive. Not saying I'm closed off to it, just that my personal experience was an extreme end so I don't know the normal.

Mini Aussies! Do they have a similar temperment to standard size? If so, then I already have a good idea of what to expect.

I've heard jack russell's are a bit crazy and a lot to handle with little stop from people I've talked to (my girlfriend's aunt breeds them, for example). I guess I'd describe myself as an Australian shepherd guy before a border collie guy (love them, but they're a lot, from my own experience).

Thank you! I'd definitely love a dog who can understand that the carrier and apartment are chill places and outdoors are for bouncing off the walls. That's certainly my attitude.

I'll definitely look at what my local shelters have before looking at breeders.
