I don't like small, yappy dogs, so Chihuahuas are out of it for me, although I did see a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix that was one of the cutest puppies I've ever laid eyes on. I also wouldn't go for a Sharpei (too many skin problems) or a Saint Bernard, just because of its size. I'm more of a midsize dog kinda person.
I would never ever get a pure bred poodle or shitzu. They just seem so.. stuffy and upper-crust. I like large affectionate dogs more, like Labrador Retrievers. I wouldn't have the time for their hair maintenance anyway. Right now we do have a poodle-shitzu mix, but Bogart was a gift and was so cute when he was just a puppy that we couldn't turn him down!

Here's 2 great rules-of-thumb that just came to mind to answer that question:
1) Anything small enough or light enough to tempt you to put it on your lap WHILE you're DRIVING driving should be avoided like the plague! It'll get you killed and probably some other poor schmo as well!
2) Any dog that is arrogant enough to believe it has a right to actually TAKE that spot on your lap while you are driving has far too much ego! And, if that is the case, it's really telling you that you are an irresponsible master and have taught your dog that IT is the Alpha in your "pack," not you!!! So, you probably shouldn't even have a dog.
I love small dogs. I love lap dogs. I love hairy dogs :-) So I don't want big and hairless dogs! Haha. Seriously, I don't want to have a Doberman, German Shepherd and other scary looking dogs. I'm scared of them myself. The big dogs that I like are Rottweiler and Labrador Retriever.
