@Thomas1033 I hear you. My dog is a Korean Jindo, probably a cross, as she's taller than they normally are. She's actually a super clean dog, she grooms herself like a cat and nothing sticks to her fur, it just falls right out. She has virtually no smell most of the time, others have even commented how weird it is that she doesn't smell like dog at all. But in the hot humid rainy season here, which lasts about 4 months, she never really dries out and she reeks like stinky cheese. No amount of bathing helps.
Additionally, she's a constant shedder and when the weather gets hot, it's unreal. I sweep up 2 full dustpans a day of her fur, it's this fluffy undercoat that bounces across the floor like tumbleweeds and lodges itself in every nook and cranny like drywall dust. And she's not even long-haired- her fur is an inch and a half long around her neck and back of her legs, maybe an inch everywhere else. She can't be shaved down in the summer because she's white, her skin is pink, and she'll actually burn.
So I can totally understand if people wouldn't want me to come to their home with her, even though she's well-behaved, doesn't jump up on people or furniture, etc. That just isn't something you impose on others, unless they're unfazed by it.
