I think it depends on your personality and lifestyle. Capone is almost 10lbs and I think he's still a small dog, but he can jump on and off my bed with me without fear. He runs and plays with my roommates lab and I love it. If he was tiny I wouldn't be able to trust Copper (the lab) with him. If you wanted a dog to carry around a lot and have time to watch very closely I think the little ones are so cute. Or you could go in between. Good luck.
