@Byron54 Well, there is definitely more hair on a larger dog 🙂 I don't understand the "not given the same special care", though. Do you think owners of larger dogs don't take care of them- bathe them, deflea them, clip their nails, etc? That seems an odd notion.
And because someone's Labrador misbehaved, that means larger dogs are more dangerous than smaller dogs? Small dogs bite, too, you know.
Just so you know, there are also advantages to larger dogs. They tend to be relegated to sleeping on the floor rather than the bed or sofa, they tend to be calmer (depending in the breed and age), they aren't yappers, and they tend to be better trained. For instance, most large dog owners train them not to jump up on people, whereas small dog owners seem to think it's cute and fine.
As you can tell, I'm a large dog person 🙂
But of course, if you think small dogs are less problematic, that's up to you.
