Go Derby! The bigger the better
Jackson is a sturdy 12.5lbs at 1 year old and I love and prefer his size. Our dog park has some "bigger" dogs in the small dog section because I think it's allowed up to 25 or 30 pounds so he's
never the biggest dog there. But I get the know-it-all owners who state, "He HAS to be mixed with something." As if they know my dog. Even if he is mixed, I don't care and I find it kind of rude for them to just assume such things. Jackson's best little friends are two 4-5lb Yorkies so size doesn't always matter! He gets along with them just like he does the "bigger" dogs.
