I LOVE them. My favorite breed (next to Boxers of course). To me they are like the "formal chic" dog. That little pin stripe on their back and uniform color gives them this sort of "I'm on my way out for a nice dinner" look at an upscale (but not TOO upscale) place. I've only known two. One was probably the coolest dog I've ever met and the other was completely neurotic. Of course, of the Boxer's I've known, the same could be said. Rhodies! I LOVE them.

I've mostly washed them inside (just about everywhere outside was so dusty it would have been a wasted effort). The only way to keep them from shaking was to always keep a hand on their back. None of my dogs ever liked bathes and they always gave me that "why don't you love me anymore" look. Luckily, they were mostly clean dogs (Boxers) and couch potatoes (which means I didn't really have to specify Boxers a moment ago if you've ever known one) so I didn't wash them very often.
