CajunAce Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 What's your preference in dog size? Do you like a small pupper that can sleep on your lap, a big pupper you can cuddle with, or a pupper in between? You can also talk about what breeds you like/own. My family has a maltese-poodle mix and shitzu. But I've always wanted either a collie or a labradoodle! Link to post Share on other sites
EggplantWitch Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Big! Big dogs! I have never met a big dog I do not like. But I still like dogs of other sizes, the percentage of breeds I find appealing just decreases with size - e.g. I really don't like most terriers, but I think spitz breeds and corgis are lovely. We have a mastiff-cross who is very large, and it's fun being able to shove her around or have her head in your lap when she's sitting next to you. I'm hoping to persuade my family to adopt another dog next year, hopefully one that's a little smaller! Link to post Share on other sites
SpaceDustbin Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Either a tiny one or a massive one my favourites are miniature Schnauzers and Newfoundlanders Link to post Share on other sites
iff Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 My favourite dog was our Sam, who was a mix of springer spaniel and collie and sure some other breeds in him too, I'd call him a medium size dog. Link to post Share on other sites
iam135 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 My favorite dog breed is the Saint Bernard, so large I guess. Especially if they get along with cats 😁! Link to post Share on other sites

Gloomy Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I have a soft spot for pugs and fluffy white pomeranians. Large dogs can be nice too, although I'm not sure if my cats would appreciate me bringing a large dog home. Link to post Share on other sites
Violet055 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I like small dogs better than big dogs but...I'm actually a bit scared of dogs. All of the dogs I've met in the past have been very jumpy and wild, and while cute, when they run at me I can only feel scared. I hope someday I get over my fear of dogs because I do find them quite cute, and my boyfriend loves them. For now if I get a pet I will stick to small animals like guinea pigs Link to post Share on other sites

smallnsparky Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I love all dogs (and cats), though I've only owned medium/large dogs - my last dog was a German Shepherd/Labrador cross and he was wonderfully stupid. You'd think that such a combo would give a highly intelligent beast, but he was a full on moron. On balance, he was very sweet and affectionate. And greedy... Link to post Share on other sites
kelico Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I love all dogs. <3 Buuuuut I chose small because I am a sucker for small doggies. And Totey was a small old man. So I gravitate towards the small ones more (if I were to think of one for myself), but I give my love to ALL THE DOGS. Link to post Share on other sites
Anthracite_Impreza Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I prefer medium-large dogs, but I do like quite a lot of terriers so I don't mind small ones either. I have a list (oh yes) of breeds I would consider owning Gundog: Curly-coated Retriever Flat-coated Retriever Slovakian Wire-haired Pointer German Wire-haired Pointer Hound: Azawakh Borzoi (favourite ❤️) Ibizan Hound (smooth and wire) Greyhound Sloughi Whippet (second favourite ❤️) Deerhound Afghan Hound Standard Dachshund (smooth, long and wire) Basset Griffon Vendeen (Petit and Grand) Pastoral: Beauceron Border Collie Belgian Shepherd (Malinois, Tervueren and Groenendael) Dutch Shepherd (wire, long and smooth) Pembroke Welsh Corgi Cardigan Welsh Corgi Terrier: Bedlington Terrier Cesky Terrier Irish Terrier Kerry Blue Terrier Glen of Imaal Terrier Manchester Terrier Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier Toy: Italian Greyhound Utility: Dalmatian Working: Cane Corso Caucasian Ovcharka Hovawart Karst Shepherd Dog Sarplaninac English Mastiff Neapolitan Mastiff Spanish Mastiff Tibetan Mastiff Obviously, the dogs shouldn't be extreme in any way; some have been bred badly in the past (excessive wrinkles, poor structure etc.), but things are improving. And I would never buy a mutilated (cropped, docked) dog. Link to post Share on other sites
Strifed Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I love all kinds of doggos, but for a pet I prefer medium or medium-large. I'm not the biggest fan of little dogs because usually they're yappy or I'm afraid to step on them or roll over them on accident... I also want to be a responsible owner and not get a dog that's too big and I can't handle. I'm a small woman, so buying a dog that's too big and I can't hold back can cause problems. Edit: As for breeds, I love the way Dobermans look, and I want a German Pinscher because it's smaller than a dobbie. Shiba Inus are also super cute, but I heard they're pretty intelligent, independent, and have a mind of their own. I'm used to working with dogs though from almost all backgrounds, so I don't think a really strong willed one would be an issue. I also think the medium sized poodles are adorable!

Muledeer Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I prefer a medium sized dog, but I am absolutely committed to keeping German Shepherds, one big dog at a time. Spoiler @smallnsparky sometimes the dummer dogs make the better pets. I have even found a broad range in intelligence in Shepherds. Link to post Share on other sites
Myssterry Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I love shelties. My last one was big for a sheltie, my present one is small. Since I have had him, I have become fonder of sparky little dogs, yaps and all. Link to post Share on other sites

Kappa Sigma Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I don't prefer a dog as a pet, because I've always grown up with cats. If a did go to a shelter to pick out a dog, because I'm so short and small in size, I would go with a small to medium dog. Link to post Share on other sites
