What I like about them is that they are big enough that you don't feel like you'd kill them if you accidentally stepped on them, but they are small enough to be portable and easily scooped up if necessary.
They don't shed. That's why they are considered lower-allergen.
They are a double-coated breed and they do need to have their furnishings and beard brushed weekly and their jacket either needs to be clippered or hand plucked to keep them looking neat and tidy.
They don't have that classic "doggie odor".
They travel well.
They love their people.
They do well with children if they are raised with them.
They are the 12th most popular breed in the United States (based on the number of AKC registrations). AKC 2010 Top Breeds
Their exercise needs are moderate.
They are easily housetrained.
They do bark and can bark a lot.
They truly benefit from being constantly socialized and exposed to new situations.
They do very well in performance sports.
