I always grew up with huge dogs - German shepherds, Labradors, Golden retrievers, Siberian huskies, the works...my pup Ollie is my first small dog in my entire life.
I had a very strong bias against small dogs because almost all the small dogs I've ever met have been a) spastic/yappy, b) timid/neurotic, or c) ridiculously aggressive. But I've changed my mind since, because my small dog is getting well-trained/socialized and he is not yappy or aggressive.
But I understand why big dog people don't like small dogs...small dogs get away with so much stuff people wouldn't tolerate in a big dog. Like biting. |
