i don't know exactly. i always had big dogs growing up (a golden retriever and a german shepard and a siberian husky) and i still looveee big dogs, but for me personally... smaller dogs are easier to handle. less maintenance, i guess you could say. i would've loved to own a bigger dog again and i probably will some day, but they shed more, they eat more, they poop more (and bigger! lol) you can't travel as easily with them, etc. but i have certain pros/cons for both, small and larger dogs. plus, i'm currently living at home and although i have my own seperate room/place, my stepdad is really allergic to dogs, therefore i have to stick with the non-shedding pups! |
