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

    I love dogs of all sizes, but the smallest dog I've owned is Peej who weighs about 35 lbs. I'm really a large dog person, I guess.

    Well, I'm large but I like large dogs. That's what I meant.

    I love all dogs. I think some of my favorite breeds are larger dogs, but I personally will never have a large dog (I don't think I could handle a dog that I couldn't pick up if I had to). And who could resist some of those small and medium sized dogs, they are sooo cute and charming. Yeah, I love them all.

    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

    I like both and have both...Small dogs are the best to cuddle on the couch with or carry around, Kyra is the smallest dog I've ever owned at 8 pounds. I really don't see myself in the future with any smaller dogs, more medium/large/xtra large...I think Jack is the ideal size for me, hes only 45 pounds, 21 inches tall, perfect couch/bed size but is still large enough that I don't trip on him consistantly (well not usually).

    Definitely more of a big dog person. I want a dog I don't have to bend down to pet. The sibes are perfect - around 50 lbs. I like all sizes, but yappy dogs are really annoying. So I guess that I like QUIET dogs best, whatever size they are!

    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!


    Thanks Kay!!

    I have a variety of sizes - from small to x-large....

    I've always thought I was a "small dog person" but nothing beats sleeping with a dane! I will always love my baby girl (Chloe) and will probably have a Pap or Pom in the future, but for now, I'm definitely a LARGE (ok, well, x-large) breed fan.
