I like big dogs. They are more fun to play fetch with, play tug-o-war, and also to go around and just walk with them. They are just more fun in general. Little dogs just look like a dumb version of a real dog =P

I don't have a preference... I love em all, big or small, full bred or mixed breed.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both sizes though. Bigger breeds eat more, poop more, cost more to vet, flea-treat, bedding and they take up more space... large breed dogs are MORE EVERYTHING, including work (grooming and bathing)! Larger breeds actually live longer.
Little dogs tend to be more aggressive or defensive and so would you be if EVERYTHING was bigger than you! With the defense mechanism, you will get a really yappy (barking) dog. They are easy to accidentally step or sit on too and with little kids who aren't experienced, they can easily get broken bones. Small dogs tend to have less health problems, yet their lifespan is said to be shorter because they are high-strung (nervous).

I grew up with German Shephard dogs, which is a larger breed. Now that I am an adult and living on my own, I have a Bichon/ Poodle mix and am much happier with a small dog. My dog will curl up in my lap and watch tv with me, not so easy for a large dog. I love the flapping ears racing towards me when I get home, make all of my stress melt away as she licks my hand!

I prefer big dogs because I think they are more, alot of the times more beautiful breeds, and they are way more protective. I do like Maltipoos though, those are cute. That's probably the only small breed I would ever get.

I like small dog..they dont look that fierce and more loving. i had a rottweiler once and i'm so scared of him, when he's on his 2 legs, he's actually taller than me...:0)
