I remember on the morning show I listen to on the radio on my drive to work a couple months back they had this question out for people to call in. One guy called and said he never takes the time to get to know a woman with a small dog. He says his experience is that too many of them are needy and/or high-maintenance. He says if they own at least one dog over 40Lbs he'll start paying attention to learn more about them, anything smaller or no dog at all and he moves on. Just sharing the story here, not saying I agree with his view. Many of our clients are small dogs and certainly not all their owners are high maintenance.
As for guys with dogs, my interest perks up if I see them with any sort of dog that appears to be fit/in shape. I don't care what sort of dog it is (large or tiny) if its too chunky I'm put off. I also like seeing guys with a good ol' mutt. I always think thats super cute. Of course a guy with a HUsky is always cute too...but I think thats mostly about the husky not the guy LOL I know my brother always gets swarmed by girls if he has one of the huskies. Then again, so do I, the huskies just flat out attract everybody! Even people who dont even like dogs at all...
