I do find that to be true. When Nacey had class at PetSmart she was the smallest in her class (there was also a sheba Inu, a cocker, and a boarder collie). Nacey definitely got the most attention from people passing by. It got really annoying when people could see that we were in the middle of class, yet they still stopped to talk to her (and distract her).


I think a lot of the time people do eye small dogs more than large one without even realizing it. I think there are a lot of things that subconsciously contribute to it.
-People love puppies and I think because little dogs are small like puppies people are often drawn to them.
-A lot of the time small dogs seem to be more pampered (not on PT of corse, but not everyone is like us). I often see small dogs sitting on someone's lap in a car, the dog has a bow in it's hair and a cute little sweater on. Then you pass a large dog in the back of someone's pick-up truck.
- The media tells us that big dogs are bad and small dogs are good. The new loves to share bad stories about large dogs, but never does about small dogs. Movies rarely portray small dogs as vicious or mean, it's almost always a large dog who is the bad guy.


I love seeing both large and small dogs. I however don't usually walk up to any dog, large or small. I think of dogs like I think of little children. I wouldn't just walk up to a stranger out of the blue and start talking to their 3 year old child, well I don't do that with dogs either. I get annoyed when someone comes up to me and my dogs, I don't mind if they ooo and aah from a distance as long as they respect us enough to keep that distance.
