I don't 'hate' any breed, but I would always prefer large dogs rather than samll dogs (unlike my parents). To me, larger dogs are easier to handle and aren't as yappy as small dogs. I had a lab mix -Chance- that was huge, but the smartest, most beautiful, gentlest dog I ever owned. Now that I have my Basenji, Riley, I find it more difficult to train him and to keep his attention. He also snips at me when he's hyper (before his walks).
