For SOME people small size seems to be a status symbol, even using the words, "they are just jealous" suggests that smaller is better. This seem like a dangerous idea to pass on, not only because some breeders will be more inclined to breed undersize dogs, but because some owners might limit a pup's food in order to create a smaller adult. Malnourished animals do not reach their full growth potential, and insecure people are always looking for status symbols that make them feel better about themselves. Overall, though, I am very happy that most of you embrace all sizes.
