Poodle

Poodles are aggressively smart and will notice every inconsistency in your training logic, then exploit it. They’re also surprisingly athletic despite the fancy grooming, capable of excelling at whatever sport you throw at them, which means a bored Poodle becomes a destructive Poodle. The curly coat doesn’t shed, but it requires professional grooming every 6-8 weeks or it mats into an unsalvageable mess.
