Yeah, totally agree. I really think it's because they're short. I mean, even well-manicured grass hits them in the chest, and they're always putting they're faces in places they shouldn't. Even in the house, they're closer to the carpet than anything, sniffing and rubbing on everything, and that's where most of the dirt and allergens end up.
My bigger (taller) Yorkie gets more of a crusty, sand-like discharge that is very easy to just get out with a finger. She's 2-3 inches taller than my other 3. Big difference in how her eyes are though.
And the rain and snow just gather particulates out of the sky as they fall to earth.... again more crap on the ground the pups have access to....
