I have met far many more aggressive "little monsters" than big. I will never understand why it's cute for a 10lb dog to be tugging, lunging at the end of a leash barking but if a 100lb dog is doing it... it's looked at as an evil monster. Both are either a matter of temperament problems, training issues, human issues, or a combination of all three. I for one hope to own a German Shepherd or a Mastiff one day. |
I think that we are all in agreement that bigger dogs vs. little dogs is not a good combination. That being said, I have grown up with 2 shepherds while living with my sister and one, I would never have around another dog while the other I would not have had any problems with being around my 2 yorkies.
To each and everyone's own personal opinions on how they their dogs are raised as with their skin babies. I just like to keep an open mind and rather than grouping and labeling, I like feel each animal is an individual being.
I would love to one day have a lab puppy, which if I had yorkies, I would be extremely careful around because I know just how clumsy and active they can be. Each situation and animal is different as each of our opinions.
No one more right than another other.
Have a nice day! to all!
