Gee, I really love poodles, but for some reason they always seem like a bit too much 'dog' for me if that makes sense. I don't know if I have just met some really full on individuals or whether my perception is fair. But there is nothing more lovely than a poodle moving in that, 'I love myself' kind of way. They just seem to light up.
What about the utility gundogs? Such as Vizslas and GSPs? Or Springers?
Setters and Retrievers do strike me as typically confident for sure.
Unfortunately, I have only met two Koolies and both were really shy. I'm not saying it is indicative of the breed at all, but it goes to show how important first impressions are sometimes, as the meeting certainly left me thinking that they were anything but a confident breed. Having said that, I would be interested in meeting more in the future and two isn't exactly a fair sample to go on. They were quite possibly from the same breeding as well.
