I love all dogs, but right now am happy with my big girls! I could easily see me down the road with a smaller dog or two!

I've had a small dog and have a big dog, now. I love them both. Bruno was very cuddly, and, would play so cute! He would run laps around the yard and play with squeaky toys and would suck on his blanket and follow me everywhere. He was a mix between a cocker spaniel and a long haired dachshund, but, basically looked like a larger-than-normal doxie. He was about 18 pounds. He was small, but, very much a dog. Not just a lap dog, although he was that, too. Finn is all of that, as well, but, has the lab qualities, too, of really loving the water and being a great retriever. He can obviously play harder than Bruno could, but, I don't really play that roughly with him, because he just has no idea he's over 70 pounds. He's very much a lap dog, also, though, going back to the fact that he doesn't know how big he is. I hope to one day have several dogs, of all sizes, and, a couple of cats, too!

I've always had small/medium dogs and I love them but I hope one day I have a big dog, my favourite breed, a german shepherd

I love all dogs, but I am more of a big dog person

[slleipnir]

I would prefer big dogs for myself, but I like small dogs too.

I love all dogs. I guess I'd prefer to have big dogs as pets, more larger breeds suit my lifestyle more than most smaller dogs besides I would just spoil a little dog to death. I don't even think I'd be able to teach a small dog to sit, I'd just want to cuddle them all the time. lol

Love them all..all of my family has big dogs, except me, I have small one and getting another one that will be smaller than Sammyj,I love to play with the Pitbull and rottie at my brothers next door..they are so sweet, I just dont think you should keep dogs tied up, like the do..
but i love having my little one's not much for dress up, but love to cuddle..I think i miss having babies around..lol..lol..

Medium to giant

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

I prefer medium to large dogs...toy dogs just aren't for me, even though they're cute and I like them... but I could never really own one though!

[Suki Wingy]

I prefer medium and up but if I meet any dog that exhibits intelegence I like them.

I have both and love both. If I did a tally though, I could probably come up with more advantages to having a small dog. Small dog doesn't automatically equate to lap dog, with no desire to do anything. Both Murph and Maddie were very playful and without a doubt tough enough to hang with the big dogs.

Most of the advantages of Oz and Gull over Murph and Maddie, are breed related, not size related. Course that goes both ways. M&M have just as many breed related advantages over the Collies too.

The only size related advantage that I can think of is that I feel really safe with Oz and Gull. I take them out walking at night and know nobody will mess with me. And nobody's getting in my backyard without me knowing about it. I never worry about somebody breaking in, while I'm home anymore either.

I was gonna say with those long legs they're much more proficient at frisbee. But I've seen tons of JRTs that are awesome at frisbee too. IMO, small dogs are vedy underrated. You can get just as much dog in a nice small package.

I like all dogs. The smallest dog I've ever owned, however, was a 40lb Beagle mix. Larger dogs fit my lifestyle. However, I do plan on getting a papillon. They are big dogs in little bodies. I like the idea of carrying my dog.

And don't say that you need a small dog just to cuddle. The bigger the dog the bigger the cuddles! Me and my german shepherd fell asleep on the loveseat together a couple of nights ago...
