I'm a dog "person"...he is a 8lb poodle...short cock and NO balls. He is fine as long as we keep the same drill...literally...SNIFF your Right leg, Bark 3 times...scratch him on the head and he is literally "out" for the rest of our visit. My biggest concern when I got him was that he would be a nuisance. I'm his 3rd rescuer and he has it figured out now. I've ONLY had ONE client that was petrified of him. TFF
I love cats, but some people are super sensitive to cat dander. Poodles don't shed...so no worries about allergies or leaving with dog fur all over your clothes.
That being said...Great Danes are known for being big titty babies. Huge and scary looking, they are really calm and sleep most of the time. I'd love to have one, if their life expectancy wasn't so short.
