Well, I LIKE all dogs. But as far as the dogs I want to OWN .... definately small dogs, for several reasons.
First, I can fit more small dogs in my house!
I do rescue, and I can save the lives of more small dogs, since more fit in the house! I currently have eleven dogs, I don't think I'd have that many if they were big.
Second, I have a really bad knee. It's been broken twice, and it's a mess. I have a really hard time walking big dogs, or lifting them, and I am always afraid one is going to knock me down, and re-break my knee. I like the ones I can just pick up and carry!
Third, rescue is somewhat less expensive for small dogs than for large dogs, and we're on a somewhat limited budget. It costs less to feed, spay or neuter and medicate a small dog ... therefore I can help more little dogs with them same amount of money.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
