You said in another post you like to run with your pup, the bigger size is better for that.
I had 2 12lb poodles, they were littermates. One was short, muscular, and very heavy to carry because she wasn't flexible and would drop her weight. The other was very tall and thin, she was easy to carry because she was very flexible and held her weight. I used to carry her with her butt in my elbow and her back feet in my hand.
My yorkie is 7lbs, she was charting to be 5lbs. She's somewhere between the poodles, leaning towards the tall and thin one, with body type and ease of carrying.
In some ways my poodle was easier to carry. |
