Large or small breeds...

small breeds and large breeds, I like them both but in physically handle a big dog anymore, nor can I feed it or even have it in my rented apartement.

Oh, I love big dogs, the bigger the better. Tom always did too, until he got his little Jack Russells several years back. Of course I loved them too, but I still prefer a dog that you don't have to worry about hurting when you step on them. It was really funny when Tom and I got married last Aug and we had his three Jack Russells, one cockapoo and my Rosie (German Shepherd) in the bed with us at one time. THAT was fun!

I dont much care for the small breeds. I think many times thy are much more loud, and bark much more than the larger breeds. My dog is black Lab/Chow mix. I would consider him a medium sized dog (except he is very fat) The large breeds are nice, but I feel like they should be kept outside, because they need so much more exercise. My dog is perfect, I love him very much!

I like all breeds large and small. However circumstance change and I went from having a doberman pinscher and an Irish setter to small dogs. At the moment I have 3 chihuahuas. A very important point in my choice is that I grow very attached to my dogs and really suffer the loss when they die. It is a fact that large breeds have a much shorter life span usually about 6 years whereas small dogs can live for as many as 18 to 20 years.

i like the big dogs. i am not real sure why i just don't like the little dogs. i can't tell you why i like the big but i can tell you why i wouldn't want a small dog. they are cute thats for sure but i don't think they are as friendly and i think they have more of a mean streke in them. i know not all of them are but all but one that i have been around have been and the big dogs seem to be more friendly and not as testy.

I was always raised around small to medium sized dogs... and after I met my husband we tried 2 different times to have a big dog. Once we had a rotweiler mix and another time we had a pit bull mix and I just can't get used to big dogs. They slobber all over the place after they drink and then they want to come lick you and your soppin wet and they drool everywhere. I've had a maltese and a lhasa-poo since I was 17yrs old and they are my babies and go everywhere with me. Even on vacations. So I can say I love little dogs... and would never try to get a big dog again.

I'm more of a cat person than a dog person, but I like visiting other people's dogs. I'm the same way with children. I prefer smaller dogs, because they won't knock me down when they jump up on me, and they are more comfortable in my lap, than are larger dogs.

Can I be difficult and say medium sized? I'm not for a small yip yip dog. I have a medium german shepard beagle mix. I like large dogs but they take up an awful lot of room. I prefer a beagle mix-- I might have to get a small dog though because I love those miniature beagles!!

I prefer medium to large breeds. I grew up with a Great Dane and a German Shepherd, then later had greyhounds. we currently have a lurcher and a Scottish Deerhound. big dogs are better to cuddle. you can really wrap your arms around them and give them a big hug.

I have always had small breeds in the past, usually Maltese. I love the affection and let them stay in the house most of the time. Hubby wamted a Golden Retriever so I bought him one for Christmas of 2006. He was just the cutest little butterball then at 7 weeks old. Now he is 1 1/2 and weighs about 85 pounds! He is basically still a pup so is clumsy and goofy ball of energy. When he runs to me from the back yard it's like watching an approaching freight train at full speed. He doesn't mean to be rough but he can knock you down to love up to you. Small dogs are so much easier for me to play with and live with. Big dogs are beautiful, but I really like smaller ones.

I prefer smaller breeds.They are so adorable that I want to put them in my arm all the time.Big breeds scare me a little.

I absolutly LOVE St. Bernards! They are my favorite breed of dog! I guess that sort of answers your question as to which size I prefer. The bigger the better! I love big goofy dogs. I have a Pit Bull, and she's not really that big, weighing in at 45lbs. but she is big enough for her wildness. I personally would really LOVE to have a St. Bernard, or even a Newfoundland, because they are really mellow, loveable dogs that are good with children. I don't personally have any children yet, but I plan to have a few in my future. I like small dogs too, but not very many of them. I think they are too snippy, and some are way to yappy. My sister has a puggle, and his name is Meeko. He's the cutest little thing, but he barks so much, and tends to nip constantly. Don't get me wrong, I love him, he's just really annoying.

I have always had small breeds (Dachshunds) however since I am older and 3 kids later, I would have to say if I was going to get another dog. I would get a lab or a golden retriever. There is something sbout having a big dog. Those 2 dogs are great with children. The downfall is that they live for about 10 years or so give or take. My do research. You can check online which dogs are best with children. Check for which dog is better for allergies etc. I just love to cuddle on the floor with a big dog:)

i prefer big dogs. i don't want to worry about breaking a little dog's bones if we're playing. I have a pembroke welsh corgi and a rottweiler lab cross and i can definately say i am alot rougher with my mix than my corgi.

I would love to have a dog but my husband does not want any pet at home. If you are getting another dog then its perfectly fine if you make sure to introduce them correctly and you will be fine as long as they know you are the pack leader then they should be fine but if one is being more dinant over the other make sure you correct the one who is causing the problem. Good Luck!

I am more into the medium sized dogs. I am just not a small dog person. I heard smaller dogs are alot more difficult to house train as well. Right now we are saving to get an english bull dog which I am really excited about. But I like the dogs that weigh anywhere between 60 - 90 pounds. their not small and their not overly huge.

i like big dogs cause you can cuddle up next to them.
