Ugh i hate when people make comments like that.
I was in a pet store and some older woman had a german shepherd and this other guy was helping his wife out with their two yorkies. The older woman (who couldn't handle the dog anyway) said... what's with men and these prissy lil dogs and we women have these big manly dogs.
I hate when people do things like that... they don't think men can have small dogs.
Also, I took my dog and my bf's dog to a dog park. And there were two guys with big dogs walking behind us... one of them said what's the point of having a small dog? Wouldn't you want a dog that you could actually do stuff with and have protect you. But, his friend said to him, "well not really, it just depends on the situation and not all people want a big dog or have room for one." I like that he defended small dogs... in a way.
