Big Dogs Vs. Little Dogs

Linda Ann Nickerson
Are you ready for a dog? How can you choose what breed is best? Which is a better pet, a big dog or a little dog? Why?

As a lifelong lover of canines of every sort and persuasion, I offer the fruit of personal experience, both good and bad.

Behold, my top 20 reasons why big dogs are safer and saner than little dogs:

Big dogs have nothing to prove. Little dogs make a lot of noise, just to prove they matter.

Big dogs really ARE large and in charge. Little dogs try too hard!

Big dogs play with toys. Little dogs ARE the toys.

Big dogs eat shoes. Little dogs eat ground round.

Big dogs are happy. Little dogs are hyper.

Big dogs chew on bones. Little dogs bite ankles.

Big dogs are affectionate and loving. Little dogs are cranky and crabby.

Big dogs behave. Little dogs bounce.

Big dogs drink out of toilets and puddles. Little dogs drink from crystal bowls.

Big dogs are gentle. Little dogs are jealous.

Big dogs sleep on the bed. Little dogs have their own beds.

Big dogs protect their masters. Little dogs try to BE the master.

Big dogs are fun. Little dogs are fashion.

Big dogs are low-maintenance. Little dogs are spoiled rotten.

Big dogs groom themselves. Little dogs have personal beauticians.

Big dogs grow their own winter coats. Little dogs wear designer doggy styles.

Big dogs can catch frisbees in their mouths. Little dogs simply mouth off.

Big dogs are practically furniture. Little dogs are jumping beans.

Big dogs fetch balls. Little dogs bounce like balls.

Big dogs guard children. Little dogs attack them.

Any questions?

    i agree. and no this person ISNT ignorant for writing this. big dogs have so much more personality and are more like a person. little dogs just arent the same. yes, little dogs are adorable and i like little dogs as well but i would NEVER own one. evey small dog i have met is yappy and annoying and just isnt as friendly. big dogs are just so much more loves and more obedient. this is just this persons opinion based on EXPERIANCE and that was made very clear. everyone has an opinion and is entitled to it so if you disagree and thing your "little" dog is better maybe you should make you own site and brag about why your little dog is so great.

    dogs (at least big ones) Breath through their MOUTH, not their nose so how can they not drool?

    i have a big dog and a little dog and all the little dogs i know AREN'T the little dog qualities u said. little dogs and big dogs aren't that different. tall people and short people aren't that different.

    Little dogs piddle on the floor, big dogs flood the floor.

    This is the most biased thing i have ever read. I love dogs of all sizes and own boh a big dog (70 lib) AND a litle dog (14 lbs). Not only is most of this information sereoypical, but it is innacurate as well. Big dogs require just as much mainenence and time as little dogs, and little dogs do NOT bite or incessantly bark by nature. Obviously, whichever size dog you have, their behavior is due to how they are TRAINED.
