* A real-life subversion occurs in actual poodles. They were bred as hunting dogs, and some historians suggest that the fur is cut into such strange shapes to minimize drag while maintaining enough fur on the joints to keep them warm, particularly while swimming.

** [[wikipedia:Prince Rupert|Prince Rupert of the Rhine]] had a frickin' ''war poodle'' who struck such fear into the hearts of his opponents that it was presented as a demonic familiar in propaganda leaflets of the time.

Your expectations? They were just ''boned''.

** Additionally, Lhasa apsos, although small enough to fit on your lap, tend not to want to be there for long. Their original purpose was to act as watchdogs over monasteries, and so they actually tend to be very independent and, in addition, very physically tough for their size.
