it seems small does are less "fearfull" (not my case, i always look for big guys ) i do sometimes look at small dogs just if they are cute to me, but i rather look at big dogs. most of the time i look up to dogs that "get to me" the ones that catch me (if you know what i mean)

my dogs get that looks, maybe because they are kind of "exotic" around here, and i think that if i had a shepherd or a lab tehy wouldnt get them since those breeds are very common around here so most people would think they are just another one alike......some people

if Zeke doesnt gets the look.......its their loss, hes a wonderful dog, i´ll give him the look for sure!!!

I just mean the majority of people seem to prefer small dogs. I personally (no offense to small breeds) prefer bigger dogs. I think they're just a cute or friendly, if not more in some cases.

SOME people will look at Zeke, but they don't like to come right up and pat him. Sometimes we'll walk past people and he'll go to sniff and they'll pat his head has they go by. But it's just not the same attention as small dogs get. If I'm at a dog park, then people are interested in him. But it seems most people don't like big dogs that are just out and about

When I have Nebo with Reggie and Sydney Nebo usually gets the most attention. I think it's because of his unusual looks and eyes a lot of people are interested in him......a lot of people are frightened of him too though!

I went into a petstore with my sister once, she had her golden retriever Skylee and I had my grandma's chihuahua, Joey. Joey received the most attention by far!

I have 2 small dogs and they always get a lot of attention..but My daughters large breed , always seems to get a lot of attention to..no matter where we go .People just love him..Guess Samson just has that kind of face..they will look at him first then the little one..

Buttons, my RB Dachshund has by far gotten the most attention when we go out in public out of all of the dogs I've ever owned. Dachshunds are really popular around here though.

My girls still seem to get a lot of attention, though. I live in a city with a lot of animal lovers (which makes me wonder why places dogs can go is very limited around here).

I personally go after any dog for attention lol. The giant dogs always catch my attention the most, though, because you just don't see them often.

That is really wierd.
I always get the opposite reaction.
When I am dog sitting my bosses BIG BORZOIS and go out and walk all of them together, my two are always ignored and people always fuss over the big dogs.

I don't think people like smaller dogs better. They are just more "portable".
I think that they think that they are easier to keep indoors. Just a guess.
I've had both bigger and smaller ones. I love them ALL!!!!

Odd...Today almost everyone wanted to look at him. I've never had that kind of reaction...I think even when Josie was a pup she didn't get that kind of attention. A lot of people fussed over her, but it wasn't the same. Maybe it's cause he is a chihuahua? Or maybe it was because I had Zeke too who is HUGE in comparison. Maybe people thought it was cute to see a huge dog and a tiny dog?
