    I guess my dogs are "medium".

    Sequoia and Pepper weigh twelve pounds, Vanilla and Karma weigh about thirty pounds, and the other four weigh twenty-something pounds.

    Don't know if one would call them "small" or "medium".

    Thirty-something pounds is about the upper limit for me. I like to be able to easily pick them up and carry them, if I had to. And ten pounds is probably the lower limit. I would worry about stepping on or breaking an ultra-tiny dog.

    Jenny is extra large 120 lbs.
    Rocky is medium 65 lbs.
    Ginger is medium to me she's 35 lbs.!
    Buster is extra large at 95 lbs.
    Rudy is small he's only 9 lbs. right now!

    so we have all sizes of dogs! I love all dog sizes but am more of a medium, large, and extra large dog person.

    the cats are Miagi is about 16 lbs. he's a big boy!
    Tiger is petite at only 13-14 lbs.

    small/medium for Wallace, medium for Autumn -although she's extra large when she stretches out on the couch or bed

    Sydney could be considered small or medium, she's about 20 lbs. I consider Keva medium, she's about 40 lbs. I guess Nebo would be considered large, he's about 60 lbs. There's a 20 lb difference between each size, I guess if we had another it would have to be really tiny or 80 lbs.

    The Shelties I consider medium. Kaedyn stands at 14.5 inches, and Kai at 17.5. Kai's overweight but he also has an unusually stocky build for a Sheltie.

    Keeva I consider large. She weighed 50lbs the last time I checked (all her siblings are heavier). She stands at 24"

    Kai [Sheltie], Kaedyn [Sheltie], Keeva [Malinois], Kwik [Malinois]

    Clover i voted large, although she is only medium in height ( the ACD in her makes her a bit stockier).

    El & Tinny - Medium, although Tinny is really only small.

    Harri - Small.

    Perfect medium. : )

    Gonzo is 34 lbs/19", and Fozzie is 44 lbs/14". I can easily carry either of them, or both at the same time, and they can fit in my lap. I would LOVE a giant breed someday, and maybe even a toy breed... but I like the 30-40 lb range, and I happen to love a couple of the breeds that fall into it.

    Frisk is supposed to be small, as he is not very tall... but quite a bit wide. :]
    Ethan is medium, and Skylar is large.
    Personally, I prefer small-medium dogs for myself.
