Rich,
…I must take exception to your use of the Poodle as a euphemism for something prissy and submissive. Approach my house and behold a 60 pound black large boned Standard Poodle come flying at the front door with nasty looking canines exposed and I think you might be convinced to choose another way to illustrate the aforementioned character traits. These are real dogs with which you should not mess!
