as a rule of thumb, do condos generally not allow dogs?

In our condo dogs are not allowed, doesn't stop people from having them though.

General no one has a problem with the dogs, except once in a while someone will let their dog sh*t everywhere (like in the hallways). And then there's a crack down and every keeps the dogs hidden away for a while, then the dogs slowly start reappearing.

And barking?

Most condos only allow fish and small birds as pets.

My condo does not even allow fish. I'd love to have a cat, but then they'd have to allow dogs, and dogs communicate by barking. One condo management employee kept a small dog in her office, and the condo management forced her to keep the dog off the premises.

I'd love to have a cat, but then they'd have to allow dogs, and dogs communicate by barking.

And, some cats also communicate orally. Loudly.
