I'm kind of biased...I own a standard poodle myself, so I think they're great dogs. But I'm not sure how others would perceive them, and if that could possibly be a detriment.

That's why I think you should just have the dog in a picture or two, and if a PNM gets all excited about the dog then great talk about it, and if someone expresses concern then that active can mention how well behaved the dog is.
Recruiting with the dog present or in any way "marketing" the dog is going to bring out the "house with the dog" thing and possibly intimidate PNMs who are nervous about dogs (but who could get used to it any other time but during high stressed rush).
