Smaller dogs are more of... lap dogs persay, and more people dress them up, doll them up, make them "cute" etc... I dunno but yeah I have noticed this, too. I prefer larger dogs myself, but I think all dogs are cute. I give every dog who comes into work the same amount of attention! Sometimes its the owners I have a problem with, but that's a different story..

I have received LOTS of compliments on my two though when I bring them out. Mostly on their eyes, though, which I find odd lol. And always ALWAYSSSSS they ask "is that a blue heeler??" noooooo.... lol. And they look NOTHING like blue heelers.

Sorry I went off on a tangent there.. But I think everyone thinks smaller is cuter. Everyone always oohs and aahs over babies and puppies (regardless of size) and I think they think the smaller they are, the cuter they are, you know?
