Plus, more and more retail stores and restaurants are allowing dogs to come inside, particularly if they're small in size. The small dog definitely has the advantage here.
2. If you live in an apartment, a small dog may be the only dog that's allowed. Many apartment complexes have regulations specifying the size dog you can have. If your dog is Tinkerbell size, he may be allowed to take up residence with you in your apartment.
3. Small dogs require less food which can be a cost savings to you. Plus, if you need to take them to a kennel or have them groomed, it generally will cost less than it would for a larger dog.
4. Small dogs tend to be less threatening to other pets you may have in your house.
5. Small dogs tend to form close bonds with their people, possibly because their small size allows them to follow their owner almost everywhere.
6. People tend to find smaller dogs less intimidating and are often eager to pamper and cuddle them. If you're a social person and like people coming up to you to pet your dog, a small dog may be for you.
7. Smaller dogs tend to be easier to clean, groom and bathe.
8. The "Teacup" sized dogs tend to have smaller features such as snout, noses, ears which makes them more teddy bear faced.
9. Quieter barks
10. I just plain and simple LOVE having something I can carry with me all the time that has that awww factor!
BUT I DON"T want a sickly pup and if he looks sickly than that means I am going to have issues down the road.

All of these reasons....good luck on your search.
